Gone are the days when elements like caste, sub-sect etc were the key priorities for a marriage. Welcome to the new age where inter-caste marriages are the name of the game.
The season of weddings is on and it is being noticed in Hyderabad that most of them are inter-caste. As it is, there are inspirations from the film industry such as Mahesh Babu-Namratha, Shahrukh Khan- Gauri, Hrithik Roshan- Suzanne etc.
As for those who have been through this, they say that religion has never been a stumbling block for their happiness. The reason for this is the increasing awareness towards things and a broad perspective towards life. While colleges and offices bring exposure to people from different communities, even love marriages are not being opposed.
There is a change in the attitude of parents who have become flexible. However, the experts say that it is the power of love that tends to break the barriers of religion, caste and nationality. While the chemistry factor always matters, it is the right kind of respect, admiration, trust and understanding which forms the key to happiness.
On the other hand, kids from inter-caste marriages are exposed to learning two different cultures. But then, there is a challenge in putting efforts towards such marriages. Apparently, coming from two different upbringings and culture, it takes good initiative from the partners to ensure that the relationship works. That is possible through a strong force called love and understanding.
