A Fact
As per a study conducted by 3 academicians from Indian Statistical Institute Delhi, it was found that the upper castes have the highest rate of inter-caste marriage[1]. Wait, but what is this inter-caste marriage and even before understanding what is inter-caste marriage, we must know what a caste is actually.
What is caste ?
Well, Caste has successfully defended itself from coming under a perfect definition. Different scholars have tried to define caste but every definition has some loophole.
For time being, we may assume that Caste is a set of people having a set of customs and a definite place in the "social hierarchy" based on a social contract signed by each and every member of the society.
What is inter-caste ?
When a member of one caste has "something to do" with other a member from some other caste, then it is inter-caste.
Whar is intercaste marriage ?
When "something to do" = marriage, then it is inter-caste marriage.
Marriage plays a significant role in one's life.
