My car driver, a Nadar is a converted christian .A hindu by birth when he faced extreme hardship he was induced by the local church to convert in return for
accommodation,education of children in convents .Recently I attended his daughters marriage with a christian priest.His close relations are all hindus. Interestingly, in
their community,religion is not as important as caste.If a Nadar christian girl marries a hindu nadar, she becomes Hindu automatically Similarly Nadar hindu marrying
a christian becomes christian. What changes is religion and not caste.They marry mostly within the community.
Are we only a caste based society and not religion based?.
It might not be a bad idea to open our minds and absorb more akin to us in brahmin caste to increase our numbers.LOL.Ramanuja is supposed to have done
that.What say you?
