I have one syrian christian girl married to my relative -an iyengar. She wears thaali , sindoor and our madisar on occassions perform shraddha with hindu husband forAfter some time, the TB girl will definitely forget all Hindu rituals and become a devout Christian. She will promptly attend Church every Sunday and even shout during Christian meetings.
Jai Ho TB girls.
A quiet revolution is on ,in the small B towns of india, The internet/facebook generation is connecting with all manner of people and getting exposed thru the medium to
friends of opposite sex and finding matches which suit themselves. The girls specifically from the upper castes are confronting the traditonalists and asserting their rights
to choose mates of their choice. As far as they are concerned ,caste/religion do not matter much. If the tradition bound society does not accept the same, they will
migrate to places where they will get accepted.
most shift to cosmopolitan places within the country where the right to privacy is honoured or abroad ,where caste does not carry any meaning.
Frankly it is a good development
Initially it was the elitist in brahmins breaking the barriers of caste based on their material wealth. They could defy the tradionalists and get way with it.In that case let us not say our community is getting extinct...As it stands our community does not have a life beyond 50 years
Indian Cricketer Dinesh Karthik will be marring Squash Player Dipika Pallikal.
Karthik is to get married twice, as he is a Hindu Naidu and Dipika is a Christian - Christian wedding on Aug 18 and Hindu wedding on Aug 20.
They are bound to fall on the wayside and swept away due to actions of their own caste sisters/daughters.
Our Traditonal society gave a menial role to women and subjected them to atrocities in home and societal space.
with education and jobs as their weapons , they are breaking out calling for freedom from an atrocious order.
They are bound to succeed.
I have one syrian christian girl married to my relative -an iyengar. She wears thaali , sindoor and our madisar on occassions perform shraddha with hindu husband for
inlaws as per our brahmin customs, had gruhapravesham as per brahmin customs.
She also got married in a church in addition to hindu aryasamaj rituals elsewhere. She also has a photo of christ in her bedroom.while the prayer room has photos of
hindu Gods. When couple love each other ,they go the extra mile not to hurt religeous feelings of the other.
I have also a TB girl in my extended family in chennai who married her christian colleague.
She has retained her hindu roots.
Her husband respects hindu customs and performed gruhapravesam of his house with hindu pandits,
Their daughter an engineer got married to another brahmin.
It depends on mutual adjustment between the girl and boy.
Religion is not much a major issue if two like each other
better looking as compared to other castes that send BP raising in all youth.
