Good work by Sri Ram Sene

While Sri Ram Sene crossed the limits and did a horrible job by beating up women in the pub, they are doing something that would fight the biggest evil of Hinduism – the caste system. In some of the Hindu families, parents feel it ‘dishonorable’ to marry off their daughters to men of so-called lower castes. But thanks to Sri Ram Sene, this has been possible. Kudos to them for doing it and we hope they help more intercaste marriages to take place and remove this curse of casteism from the Hindu society.

Following is the news report. Such news won’t be reported by the main secular media, so help spread the word.

Mangalore, Feb 16: A young man and woman from Udupi district got married under the supervision of Sri Rama Sena at Saravu Sri Mahaganapati temple, after the parents of both of them resented their decision and opposed the relationship.

21-year-old Shobith and Geetha of the same age, entered wedlock in a simple, traditional ceremony in the presence of Sri Rama Sena activists. Shobith belongs to scheduled caste, while the girl is from Vishwakarma community. Shobith is a resident of Paniyur and Geetha, from Mudarangadi in Udupi District.

"We love each other since the last two and half years", confessed the couple.

Shobith, a student from Udupi, is studying Bachelor of Computer Applications course, while Geetha works in a private firm.

"My parents are totally opposed to this marriage. When we approached my parents with the proposal, they registered a complaint against me in the police station. As a result, I was sent to remand home a few years back, “Geetha said.

Geetha lives in a hostel in Manipal, as she has been expelled from her home. Parents of both the lovers are strongly against this marriage, and Shobith's parents not only dissuaded him from marrying the girl, but also warned him to shelve his plan.

"We planned to marry on February 14 with the help of Sri Rama Sena, as per their call, but when we contacted them, their leaders were not available. So we decided to marry today," said Shobith.

"We had two options before us, either marrying each other or committing suicide, but Sri Rama Sena members gave us life," he added.

"Sri Rama Sena members have assured us of finding out suitable residence and jobs," said Geetha.

Sri Rama Sena members, who were present there, said that it was not a forcible marriage, and that the couple contacted them with a request to assist them to get married to each other.

  1. Great Reporting.

    I pray to Iswara that the couple have a happy marriage and the families are reconciled.

    It is not easy for both families.I pray to Sri Krishna that the entire society upholds the high ideals of Sanatana Dharma so that there is no room for heartburn.

    The process is underway and would have progressed much further had not many nefarious groups instigated divisiveness.It is a long road neverthless.Traditions and prejudices do not die fast.

    But let us take heart in Sri Krishna who says varna should be on guna and karma.

    I again pray that the couple find a decent place and suitable jobs and have a happy marriage.

    You are saying are hindus only responsible to bring peace & justice...Refer Wikipedia for a number of muslims who have not only shed their blood but gave up their lives for India...Don't get carried away by the people who think that they only deserve the right to live...Consider the case of Pakistan...See all of them present there are Muslims...But do you know how many bombs explode in a day..? Same thnk abt India
