My experience is, an Indian born in India never leaves caste behind. Yes, Jatts pay no importance to caste when hiring, but them & every other caste makes matrimonial connections, social groups, gathering etc only in their caste. Only the third or fourth generation I have seen is kind of out of that shadow.
- unmole 4y agoHow big and representative is your sample? There are over 1.4 Billion of us. It's almost a meme on HN that people primarily make friends at work. Do you think Indian professionals don't do that?
- davchana 4y agoIn California I have seen this. I am one of us. Indians born in India 90% of the time want to marry indian only, maybe by choice or by parent's or society's pressure. That too in same religion and caste. Like I said in my original comment, caste mostly doesn't matter when hiring at work, but people don't marry out of caste, religion. Intercaste Love marriages happen, no doubt, but maybe in a single digit percentage in USA in Indians. First few generations still know & believe in caste for matrimonial. Brahmins, rajpur, jatt etc still is the factor. The third or fourth generation born starts paying minimal attention to caste when finding love.
