K. Alagesan (State President, Tamil Nadu Inter-Caste Married couples Association): The Indian constitution envisages a casteless society. But our social order is basically caste-ridden. The Supreme Court of India has said that the caste system is a curse. The sooner it is destroyed, the better. For that to happen, inter-caste marriage is the only remedy. In fact, such marriages will be in the nation’s interest. Throughout, India, crores of people have married across castes, discarding the oppressive caste system. They relinquish all rituals and practices connected with their castes. They go straight to the Registrar of marriages, get their marriage registered and start to live as man and wife. Their offspring are naturally casteless.
John Moore: Wars have been fought and millions have been killed because of the inability of men to understand the idea that EVERYBODY has a different view-point.
