i never said u were a racist. i was only wondering if u thought intercaste marriage is a bad idea...... by the way, just because someone marries from a different caste does not mean the spouse has to be from a different race. bahuns + chetrris - same race, different caste a person marrying someone from an other caste is completely different than he/she marrying a foriegner... i kind of see wehre you are coming from. my dad always insisted that i should marry a nepali, nabhaye i will be uprooted and i will try to keep that in mind. i dont have anything against forigners, it is just that in a conservative society like ours, it is probably not the best idea to take a forigner to my grandparents and telling them 'hey, this is my hubby'. nepali families are tight-kint, no matter what decision i make in life, i will have to keep their sentiments in mind. there are people who have made it work, and i am happy for them; i am saying it is probably not the best idea for me; now that does not make me racist or anything....same idea kya.
