    The main reason for present youngsters mind change in respect of marriages

    In families there are brothers and sisters living under one roof through which parents seeded culture, patience, give and take policy, respect to others etc., especially among them and thereby to outsiders. Marriage is, according to our country,a bondage created so as to run a peaceful life with pleasure. Parents in those days take children to festival grounds, marriage and other functions so as they feel get togetherness, participating in singing etc.
    Recently a parent with much worried approached an expert as their daughter wanted to marry as her own that too with some other religion guy. It is not wrong in marrying another religion but the entire follow up would differ and thereby the understanding is getting lapsed and leads to divorce etc., Expert advised them to make the child to understand this politely.
    The main reason for diverting mind in present youngsters is highlighted as reply. Parents not treating their children with their own culture secluding them from other close relatives, thereby present youngsters do not aware the value of their own culture.

    There is a sea change, in the thinking of younger people these days. When we were young our exposure to the world is less and we used to go by the suggestions and devices of elderly people as they were having experience and knowledge. But these days young people are having very good exposure to the world through social media and other digital media. They feel the internet is a boon to them. So they think on their own and take their own decisions. As elderly persons, we have to go with them and carry on.
    Many people these days go for love marriages and we are seeing increased divorce cases also. I have seen many love marriages that failed. Percentage failures are more in love marriages than in arranged marriages. But it is very difficult to convince young people by telling this. So many fathers are worried these days. Marriages will be successful only when both the parties involved are having an adjustment nature and when they are accommodative only.

    While looking the present trend followed by youngesers, we could see a marked change in their attitudes where they are experimenting their lives with the observation of new trends which we had never thought of in our lives. We were bound to follow the social customs and there was no point of deviation from the suggestions as offered by our seniors especially in marriage affairs. There was no system of love marriage but we had to contend with their suggestions in such crucial issues.
    These youngsters make their own paths following the dangerous paths and one such a trend is the sustenance of living relationships with their girl friends. Their companionship will finally culminate in marriage relationships provided they are satisfied with this relationships otherwise they will part their ways.
    These youngsters are sending wrong messages to the society of indulgence of wrong relationships and this trend might multiply in the society in the upcoming time.
    At present, we are in the midst of cultural changes and its final results are to be seen in future.

    The main point is the youngsters are chosing the path of inter cast marriage.
    There are many reasons why young people in India may choose to have inter-caste marriages:
    Love: The most common reason for inter-caste marriage is falling in love with someone from a different caste. Young people today are more likely to choose their partners based on their compatibility, shared interests, and personal values rather than their caste.
    Changing social norms: With the increase in education and exposure to different cultures, young people are breaking free from traditional social norms and stereotypes. They are more open-minded and accepting of different cultures, religions, and castes, and are willing to look beyond their own caste when choosing a life partner.
    Social activism: Many young people are actively fighting against caste discrimination and the caste system. They believe that inter-caste marriages can break down caste barriers and promote social equality.
    Economic and social mobility: Inter-caste marriages can provide economic and social benefits. For instance, marrying someone from a different caste can provide access to a wider social network and opportunities for economic advancement.
    Overall, inter-caste marriage is becoming more common in India, especially among the younger generation. While there may still be social stigmas and challenges associated with inter-caste marriage, many young people are breaking free from traditional constraints and choosing partners based on compatibility and shared values.

    Today's children and youth are subjected to vast inputs. They are influenced more by external sources than the family sources. Such influences are mostly hidden from the parents view and attention as they are either from the social media and internet in their mobile phones and laptops and through their peers in schools and colleges or office. Parents do no have control on this. Youngsters are vulnerable to this kind of influences and pressure as they are consistent and continuous utilizing more of the daily time of the youngsters.

    While on one side the parents (with whatever short time they are in interaction with the youngsters), try to put restrictions and regulations on youngsters with well intention on their safe growth, on the other side there is this external influence and pressure with seemingly encouraging and incentivising temptations and promise of unlimited and unbridled freedom. Like the moths attracted to flames the youngsters are attracted by these external influences who have only selfish and self interests and no intention of wellbeing of the youngsters.

    The result is the youngsters ,due to their immaturity ,vulnerability and impulsiveness of the age fall prey to the external influences and consider their parents as enemies and who are against their freedom and free growth. So they rebel and straightaway oppose and reject anything proposed by parents .
    They find some 'supporters' and thus it cascades into even rupture of relations. This is now on the increase.
    But I feel history will repeat and things will come back in circles and cycles. Youngsters will also reject the new found freedom and rebel attitude and come back to the cosines and comfort and safety of family again-ma be after a couple of generations later. The old safe and tested traditions including institutions of marriage may also come back in a full circle.

    Per se I am not saying against the choice exerted by youngsters, but I am saying generally blind negating and rebelling attitude of going against all traditions and advise and guideline by parents and experienced elders' just for the sake of showing as 'modern and progressive' and ,free'

    It is important to remember that marriage is a personal choice and individuals should have the freedom to choose their partner based on their own feelings and preferences. However, it is also important to consider the cultural and religious differences between partners and how these differences may impact their relationship.

    It is understandable that the parents are concerned about their daughter marrying someone from a different religion, as it can lead to potential challenges and conflicts in the future. It is important for the parents to communicate their concerns to their daughter in a respectful and understanding manner, without trying to force their own beliefs or opinions onto her.

    The parents can also try to educate their daughter about the cultural and religious differences that may arise in a mixed-faith marriage, and encourage her to have open and honest discussions with her partner about how they will navigate these differences. Ultimately, the decision to marry someone from a different religion should be based on mutual respect, understanding, and a willingness to compromise and work through any challenges that may arise.

    There was a time when marriages were very strictly arranged by the parents and young people simply obeyed them. People were very strict in getting their children married only with the communities with which they had earlier such relationships. New or other communities were never preferred. There was a strong feeling that some community was superior and one has to get ones children married only in comparable levels.
    With the passage of time everything changed and in the name of modernisation and freedom young people started to decide their own life partners and are simply intimating their parents about it.
    Now we are going through a transition stage and most of the marriages are being decided by the young people themselves. It is a matter of great discussion to decide the fate of such marriages because even some arranged marriages failed miserably.

    There are several more apart from the above factors that have contributed to the changing attitudes of present-day youngsters towards marriage:

    Changing societal norms: In the past, marriage was seen as a social and cultural obligation, and young people were expected to get married at a certain age. However, with the changing times, societal norms and expectations have evolved, and young people today are more independent and free to make their own choices.

    Education and career aspirations: Young people today are more focused on their education and career goals, and often prioritize these over marriage. They want to establish themselves professionally before settling down and starting a family.

    Increased exposure to different cultures and lifestyles: With globalization and the rise of social media, young people today are exposed to different cultures and lifestyles, which has broadened their perspectives on marriage and relationships.

    Economic factors: In the past, marriage was often seen as a means of financial security. However, with the rise of the gig economy and changing job markets, young people are more hesitant to get married for financial reasons.

    Changing gender roles and expectations: Women today are more empowered and have greater autonomy over their lives. This has led to a shift in traditional gender roles and expectations, and young people are more open to non-traditional forms of relationships and marriage.
