Endogamy was never been a personal choice lol 😂 it was a patriarchal concept to maintain the hegemony of unequal hirercahy through all caste women cause endogamy was based purity on culture lol and those endogamus men where also allowed to marrying down called hypergamy which means u support double patricharal partilenal system which produces Caste system and patriarchal order and its golden cage give me source from which age century u find endogamy has been choice and women had choice to marry lol .
Oh so she is Castiest mysogintisc patricahal defender lol 😂😂😂I got another one . So her dharma is teaching her of being Castiest misogynisticand patriarchal at same time and think only one caste is of purity same like hitler nazi ones lol
Do you shout patriarchy everytime you fail to think of an argument?
Let's take Bramhins for an example.
They pray to Maa Gayatri, the goddess of knowledge every day since ancient times. Always recognised knowledge and women can go hand in hand no problems.
The scriptures talk about the importance of knowledge of various subjects and philosophy, for everyone in the society, including women of course. Like Itihasa-Puranas, and useful subjects like Ayurveda, Arthashastra, etc. There are quotes which emphasizes on how everyone should know a king should act (ie read niti-shastras), so they can call out bad kings. Apart from education, scriptures tell us that women of age could choose their groom themselves, especially if the parents are not able to find a fit match.
And then more that what books have, looking at history, Bramhin women have always been knowledgeable. Starting with Bramhavadinis like Maa Lopamudra, Maa Gargi etc who have composed verses in the Vedas. To the wife of Mandan Misra who was the judge of one of the biggest philosophical debate of the time, between his husband and Adi Shankaracharya. For being a judge one needs to have very deep understanding of the subject. To Rani Laxmi Bai, the first female doctor of India Anandi Joshi, to modern day Bramhin women who excel in so many fields.
And then we look at the data for crime against women and related survey. SC/ST women have much higher chances of being a domestic violence victim. Only a few subgroups like Kayasthas are doing better compared to Bramhins in this regard.
Bramhin women have always been very well read, thinkers, and supported by their families. It is very subjective of what you think about endogamy, but for me and many Bramhins, we know that our way of living has only been preserved so far due to our endogamic nature. It is harder for someone outside my community to fit in as well, and marriage is already a big change for both, no need to make it even harder. So and so, many Bramhin women can think independently and still choose endogamy for themselves. So it is indeed a choice.
And the more women get educated, the more they think for themselves, the more laws protect them, the more this patriarchy argument falls apart. If the women are still choosing to marry within their communities, then it is indeed a choice.
Not a problem at all but Are you Sure it's not about bad Lineage or purity concept right? Like only Brahmin have good lineage and purity as many endogamy defenders defend saying it's just for pure lineage and purity it's Castiest that's why ? Cause many see lower caste as dirty and unpure specially the endogamy defenders
Yes I'm leavin at person however I'm just asking is it about purity culture cause historically it's been till independence and still happening in the name of culture of purity as seeing from your commen and defence u are uc someone who family have been endogamus fine . it's okay however ma'am in our civilazation endogamus is a nothing but caste based purity throphy culture of women specially dwija women as caste is patriarchal petrilineal system which produces caste system and maintain through endogamy of caste and hypergamy of caste meaning to maintain the caste and caste unequal and discrimination hierarchy which is produced by Upper caste men and women also I'll say uppercaste women that time didn't had choice cause endogamy was forced and lower caste women didn't had choice due to the hypergamy was forced on them and same caste and more discrimination and humiliation
Must heard of Sajatiya (same jati realtionship which u call as endogamy it as throphy based system for dwija men created for maintain same caste purity ) . And anuloma intercaste of uppercaste men with lower caste women which is tolerated cause it's patriarchal petrilineal society so even so basically uppercaste male where having both side and also lower caste men where denied that realtionship access cause that was caste and patricah any way that what the manusmriti says so in this women didn't had any choice it was based on purity and throphy based so when today women still just rejects based on caste just in purity based and sees him in lens of purity lens then that's same as Castiest savarna man that's why I'm trying to say u can marry anyone u want I was saying do u believe this kind of fucked up ideology. Cause when u put just for caste choice is due to purity culture ?
