There has been a lot of hue and cry lately by what is know as ' honor killings ' especially in the Hindi belt. Young men and women have been killed for intercaste marriage or for marrying within the same ' gotra.' Only Hindus will understand the meaning of gotra which is a kind of ' house ' like they have in schools. It is forbidden to marry within the same gotra as it is to marry outside one's caste. It may seem confusing but is really simple. Since one is supposed to marry within the same caste one should not marry within the same gotra to prevent consanguineous marriage with all the genetic problems that leads to. Staying in the same village young people have been unable to stop falling in love and marrying within the same gotra thus incurring the wrath of the village council or ' khap.' The pro Congress, anti Hindu press has been frothing on about honor killing, crime against women, the curse of the patriarchal system, blah blah blah without researching the real reasons for these crimes. The real reason is the division of Hindus according to caste started by the Congress after independence and carried on by all other criminal politicians to win votes. Thus Hindus are divided into Scheduled Caste ( traditionally untouchables ), Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Castes or OBCs. These people are given preference for seats in elite colleges even with very low marks, get good government jobs and promotions even though patently unfit. A couple of years ago there were pitched battles between Gujjars and Meenas in Rajasthan over getting ST status. So called minorities get bail easily after killing Hindus. Since minorities are already slaughtering us what does it matter if we kill each other?
