Dear April,

The caste based situation is a sad reality that very much prevails even now and unless you people are very financially stable, absolutely sure of eachother and can prevail despite all the opposition, you will have to forget him and move on. Perhaps in the future when both of you have a lot of resources to convince both sides that you are indeed serious despite the basic difference according to them, then this will change. Be patient for now. This is a difficult road my dear and sometimes, if you arent careful, there could be bad consequences. I am sure you have read of some unfortunate consequences of these inter-caste marriages that happen despite opposition. Please weigh your options very carefully.

One and a half years in retrospect is a real short time to know someone enough for a life-time. If you can really brave this challenging situation together and he really wants to be with you, fight for you, then this is someone worth fighting for…Please think very carefully about what you do. Its easy to fall in love but marriage is another ball-game altogether. Give this lots of time and dont do anything hasty.

Thats all i can really say for now.
