inter caste/religion marriages and what indians think about them

The reason for bringing up a not so fashionable topic is because my cousin who is a "hindu" married someone from the "christian" community....the quotes suggest that i don't care about religion being a bias any more than i do about angelina jolie adopting an african kid....but if you utter something of this sort to someone from a healthy, well bred "religiously intact" family, you can see their lips pouting and indicating that they are not pleased....The narrow mindedness of these sort of people shows the lack of common sense....If you think rationally, inter caste marriages are the way to go....not only does it ensure the true meaning of our nation, (sovereignity , secularism) but also enables one to dig deeply into another religion and then find out to your surprise that either ones are exact clones of the other.... Personally, i would be happy if it happened to me....(to the wrath of my mother of course) (and then i would have to find someone with my height range which may prove to be hard).... so i don't really know and am only 20 years old and not an expert in love or marriage or anything related to that....and finally , god bless us everyone....except for ricky ponting(i hate him!)....
