My take on recent controversy of Intercaste marriages

A courageous chore for all of you guys and gals out there. Try signing yourself as Mrs Sita Khan or Mr. Aslam Mehra and see a turbulent havoc that follows.
The print media, broadcast media, the judiciary system, moral police, the NGOS, workless workaholic political parties and government would be more concerned about your welfare than your own family. The sex education ban than kissing in public ban, now I hope they don’t ban right to love someone who doesn’t worship God same way you do. The call centre age with all its progressive fronts is getting a major set back by some ignorant, arrogant blindfolded, self righteous, unknown custom worshipping hyped up losers. They think themselves as security people who are blessed on Earth to protect either their religions or caste or God only knows which Indian culture or tradition and create their own boundaries with all those stepping out are forbidden. This week we saw two different couple caught under eyes of media and government and ire of many. Umer and Priyanka did a serious crime according to some pea sized braines committed a crime of loving each other knowing their scriptures read from different side!!!
But, is it crime to love some and not see his/her last name. If its not justified how marriage of Rajiv Gandhi to Sonia Gandhi is justified or many such instances. Or is it just because they were rich and famous, they were escaped and the poor common citizens have to be axed of their wrath. It’s sad to see someone with its family recently get burnt because of getting engaged to a different caste. It is depressing to know that police have to be wasted in protecting a couple who decided to legalize their love in spite of different places of worship. Is our religion, caste and location our sole identity and aim to strive better in these areas is sole purpose of our life. In age where we talk about globalization and shrinking world, these minor differences create a major impact and leave youths like me unplaced in current Indian scenario. The affection and caring for mankind is lost to preaches and speeches f some saffron or green or white coloured people who have no shame in claiming you different from each other in name of God, one which created all of us.
Dismay and disappointment is what we are gathering from all such controversies rather than cameras of international media. The recent hoolaboo of Shilpa Shetty being racially abused was turmoil and now if just swearing few words on colour is being racist, what is killing or not allowing same colour people to love is????? Its hypocrisy and that’s what India is filled with and ruled by. I question all those followers of religion, in which holy book is it written you aren’t allow to marry someone that doesn’t enunciate things way you do it or someone who has different place to pray from you. God has made unions why humans are tracing to break it. Are these other side of coin, if yes then why when we toss this ugly side comes up and not the better one? I feel now when Indians are acquiring things beyond boundaries, we should start erasing boundaries in our mind created by our forefathers for no rhyme and reason. It is time now when love should replace all the hatred around and should breach bars of caste, age, colour, nationality and Sex. Yes even sex, why torture some who decide to express their desire in different way. We don not want another World Trade centre or Bali bombing or 7/7 in India or anywhere. The best combat against terrorism and extremism is Love. Thus its nod of our approval that is required for Umer and Priyanka not protection by High Court judgment. Can we start being tolerant or is it yet an alienated word in land of cultures and communities, a land where someone can easily fool us in name on religion, caste, creed, minority status??!!!! Wake up before you realize there is no sun to wake up to.
I want a suggestion from all readers is love and marriages in a different caste or class ok?? Is it a matter of personal choice or USPs of all wasted organizations and political parties? Are those dreams of crossing barrier limited to books and Bollywood’s masala screenplays?? Please do leave your comments as I want to know what India of today thinks like…
