The Z tv program has just hosted a new serial called "Do Saheliyan Kismat ki kathputaliyan" (DSKKK) based friendship between two girls of different casts from Rajstan. One is Rajput and another is Rabadi.
India has completed 60 years of independence. Yet we are not open to inter-cast marriages. That fact is depicted into the serial where Rajput girl marries Rabadi guy. From that point, the war between two families begins. There are so many people who are not open minded to accept new age thinking. They are still in their old age thinking that they are rich and there traditions don't allow them to do so and so things. Beliefs are not changed. Thats when the gap is created between old generation and young new generation.
The old tradition was not to allow bride to see groom and vice versa before marriage. Thats what its depicted in serial and which brings turn in lives of two girls. "Ghunghata" system in old tradition also leads accidents where you can not sure who is sitting in bride position whether she is a showed photograph girl or another one. Once the marriage is over that guy may go crazy by trick of sitting another girl as a bride. Thanks to new system which changed the old tradition of Ghunghata system. No more Ghunghata.
In old days of our grandfathers or great grandfathers, there was not so much development in medical science to make sure blood groups of a bride and groom. According to medical terms, there are some blood group cases where its dangerous for girl to marry with guy of same blood group. That creates some complications during pregnancy and other facts. (which is beyond my scope to explain). In arrange marriages (which came from old age), we follow Gothras, suthras, etc. to match. That fact of matching was taking care of danger involved in getting married with problematic same blood group cases. Still we find that there is a lack of knowledge of blood groups involving complications after marriage. If we research scientifically on old tradition of arrange marriages, we may find so many explanations as I wrote one above.
All together we can not deny old tradition of matching Gothras, Sutras etc. Since it involves safety of bride and groom's lives. We have to consider old people's perspective and understand it with our modern scientific ways. We can relate them properly. We can get to know our old traditions and concepts involved in it.
Obviously few traditions like Ghunghata, girl not able to meet or discuss with guy and vice versa are all shit!!!
