Hi people, this is my first post on this forum and I felt I should share my strong opinion on this for this poor guy. Simran ji hats off and great respect for your reply’s which are common sense if you think about it. My parents never teached me about my caste and when I came up with the announcement that I love a girl for almost 4 years and want to marry her the first thing they asked me was her caste. I told them that I did not know what her caste was. Later I found out that she was from the shimba caste and my parents told me that I am jatt. Same as this post issue. I never believed in caste and even not had any knowledge about it, till the day my parents told me that I can only marry a jatt girl. Big story short…, my mom created a lot of big scenes and cried almost every day about the fact that I love a girl from different caste and Waheguru gave me the strength to hold on my decision to marry her and don’t give up on the tortures of my family. My father was after a time oke with it and supported me. So I am now proudly married to the girl of my dreams and we are so happy together and my advice to this guy would me to ask your girlfriend if she is ready to tackle all the battels together and also let your girlfriend ask her parents if they can guarantee her that if she marry a stupid jatt boy she will be happy and that he will keep her happy, I can tell you from my experience there will be no answer on that!!! I just hate people that believe in caste, I will tell my children later that they can marry anyone that believes in shri guru granth sahib ji, that is what counts to ensure the future of sikhi, not this caste <banned word filter activated>, sorry for my harsh words.
