Puri Shankaracharya ji says if one does inter caste marriage, the logical final step is marrying monkeys and goats :)

“A Shudra can become a Brahmin and a Brahmin can become Shudra…
To prevent commingling of blood is to build on sand. Sexual attraction has proved more powerful than all commands of all prophets…
A Hindu marrying another Hindu may lose his caste but not his Hindutva”

We must ask: does Savarkar who studied abroad suffer from false colonial consciousness as some imply? Even as he fought the British!
What are “Indic knowledge systems” views w.r.t this? Does Puri Shankaracharya ji represent them more? And is Savarkar inauthentic and deracinated?

Now, I happen to think there is extensive support for inter-caste marriages within Vedic Dharma itself for the simple reason that the Vedas (not commentaries) do not mention caste by birth. But interesting that people who today give certificates of IKS vs “western” mostly silent.
Secondly this angle of why compare a Guru and a Politician is a cowardly cop-out. Dharma is to be practiced by all, so obviously political leaders will comment on it and can their framework be dramatically different from (some) religious leaders? Give reasons not excuses please.
And yes, there were some cross-caste marriages but by the time the Smritis and the Shastras had gone beyond the early Vedic times, things started ossifying.
Even for exceptions, was much more okay for a “higher caste” man to marry “down” than vice versa, again with restrictions.

These are our Dharma Gurus and hence we respectfully disagree with them when they say such things as they influence society. For trolls, no respect.
People who are uncomfortable at all this being pointed out should introspect about their own conscious and subconscious reactions.
