Can Indians Marry Outside Their Caste? | Street Interview

If you consider yourself a true fan of Asian Boss, become a member of our community to join the cause: You may know about India’s caste system which is an ancient social hierarchy that dates back 3,000 years. Caste-based discrimination was outlawed in 1950 but it still exists in many aspects of Indian society. For example, even though inter-caste marriages were legalized in 1954, only a small percentage of marriages in India are actually inter-caste. Why is that the case and how do Indians feel about inter-caste marriages today? Our Asian Boss reporter hit the streets of Delhi to find out. *The opinions expressed in this video are those of individual interviewees alone and do not reflect the views of ASIAN BOSS or the general Indian population.* Interested in traveling Asia?
