Intercaste marriages have been banned again in India (6 photos)
While the Bharat government is fighting with all its might against the caste system, in the Indian states themselves, at a lower level, caste boundaries are being reintroduced. That is, casteism is prohibited at the country level, but the states are in no hurry to comply with this decree.
How are things in Gujarat?
We are talking about the most religious states, in which there is the most lawlessness, oddly enough. I have already talked about the “cow avengers” who hunt trucks transporting beef, because the cow is a sacred animal.
It's the same with inter-caste marriages. Although the Indian court has fully approved them, they have been banned, for example, by the Gujarat community.
What about caste? Did they check the groom's caste?
If a guy or girl chooses a companion who is not their caste, then the community will impose a fine of 1.5-2 lakhs on them. (By the way, you know that in India they use the numeral lakh - this is 100 thousand. That is, 2 lakh is only 200 thousand rupees . Thank you, it's still within the metric system, and not British pounds).
If the guy and girl run away and refuse to pay the fine, the money will be collected from the remaining family members in the state. These are the financial hostages of the castes.
Let's also ban cell phones
Plus, unmarried girls from the Takora community were prohibited... from using mobile phones! A bit illogical, why would that be? But watch your hands!
Why are you chatting there? Do you talk to boys!?
The men of the community held a general meeting at which they decided not only to prohibit “transcending caste boundaries.”
Where can a girl meet someone outside her circle? On the Internet and by phone, obviously.
This means that she must be prohibited from going beyond these limits. And so that this does not interfere with learning, the community suggests using tablets and laptops NOT CONNECTED to the Internet at school.
However, boys were not banned from using phones. We miscalculated, but where?!
Clever, smart, it looks like an attempt to return to the 60s in one particular town.
True, they did introduce one good law there. They are fined for excessive spending at parties. This law refers to throwing food and smearing cakes on people's faces at birthday parties.
Here I am in favor with both hands. It’s always a pity that grain growers, farmers, and even confectioners work until bloody blisters, when another youngster throws food in someone’s face.
No matter what anyone says, it is vulgar and insulting to all workers in agriculture
What do they call them in India?
Do you know that the Indian government is very aware that all sorts of backward individuals are fighting them with all their might. They even introduced a special social term “other backward classes”. This term refers to classes that are educationally or socially disadvantaged.
In short, rural darkness, which in its deepest beliefs can no longer be re-taught in this generation.
All sorts of people are walking around, disturbing our caste system!
This is how it is always, because such a community comes up with 10 laws with a curiosity, one good one will be lost against this background. But let's see if the Indian authorities can retrain them this century.
