Inter-caste marriages

The liberals(though they are more conservative in many aspects) love to make traditional practices sound terrible. Borrowing from individualism, communism, libertarianism, corporatism, capitalism, nihilism and so on they have a philosophy to oppose to most practices that are traditionally followed.

One of the many things they oppose to is caste. Before somebody judges me, let me clarify I am not a supporter of the alleged caste system practices. Actually to my argument it does not matter if the caste system(but I call it a societal organization, but that is not important) was prevalent at all. Let us also assume for argument’s sake that it did a negative impact in modern India.

My whole premise is that liberals oppose castes and hence they support inter-caste marriages. Let us understand this a little clearly. The reasons for their support are these:

1. Castes created a lot of unwanted social problems resulting in inequality
2. All men are (created) equal and hence marry who they want

Sound arguments I must admit. My problem is why are they restricting it to only one form of differentiation. Extend the same arguments to every other differentiation. Let us look at a few of them:

1. Intra-class marriages- they should oppose any practice that marries people of the same class. Actually this is the most prevalent practise these days, why are the liberals quiet?
2. Intra-occupation marriages- they should oppose any practice where one marries someone who has the same occupation as the other. Doctors, politicians, lawyers, actors and so on. Why? It tends to become a family dominated business, giving unfair advantages to them over someone who is flying solo.
3. Intra-education level marriages- creates a hegemonic family structure. Unfair for a couple who are both not educated.
4. Intra-tech-access marriages- Given the dating and matrimony sites and apps, this again reduces chances of someone who does not use these technologies.

So a PhD should necessarily marry someone who is illiterate. A businessman should necessarily marry someone who has zero potential to earn. A politician should marry someone who has taken political sanyas. A tinder user should marry someone who does not own a mobile phone. A spendthrift should marry someone who doesn't spend at all. A teetotaller should marry someone who wakes up drunk. And so on. Not to forget, caste should be no bar. Race, countries, species, non-earthly etc. will be on their wishlist, so that they have something to fight for.

What “They want ” cannot be backed by any of these biases as they cause eventual social “inequality”.

These narratives of Indian society being evil has to stop. Not saying there were no bad apples, but my problem is that they are saying there were only bad apples.
