Let me preface by saying that I'm a bahun myself, and I would never marry a non-bahun, not because that's what my parents want, but because it is my intention to marry a bajai. Nobody can force me to think otherwise. However, if I decide to marry somebody else, how would my parents be able to stop me? The answer is they can't and they won't. Certainly, there may be some short-term problems, but in the long-haul you will all get along. Why should I, or anybody else force you to think differently? Not my line of thinking. I am a libertarian on these issues. Personal decision. Personally, I wouldn't do it. I would give you a weird look for marrying a non-bahun, but then I would just shrug it off and realize that it's your personal decision. I have seen some of these couples a few times( and trust me I don't attend Nepali parties that much...at most 5 times and I've been here for almost a decade) and I admit that it made me feel a little queasy. Personal decision. But anyways, go ahead and live your life how you desire. You can marry a stripper if you want. Who gives a flying fudge? To hell with society. Now what bothers me the most is the hypocrisy that some people exude regarding intercaste marriage. Some of these bahun suckers, who whine about how bad the caste system is will never marry a non-bahun. They will stick with somebody of their caste 100%. The point is try to be truthful. Isn't it a bit hypocritial if you feel that everybody should mix up, but you won't do it yourself? Of course these people will never admit how they feel. I have a hard time dealing with these suckers.
