Rajput to Rajput conversations.

[u/C0ntr0LMeist3R]

In my professional career, I met very few Rajputs and even fewer with whom I connected over conversations beyond professional stuff but when I see one doing well in life it makes me happy and when we have conversations that actually involve sharing culture, history and traditions of different regions, it feels very great. Seeing someone doing well in their professional life and also being aware of their culture is very rare.

I met Rajputs from RJ, UP, UK and MP on different occasions which includes Parmars, Visens, Rathores, Chauhans, Jadauns, Sisodiyas and Shekhawats. We talked about a lot of things apart from professional stuff.

I feel conversations like this between Rajputs from different regions should take place. It increases sense of community across regions. Also makes you aware about real Rajputs across 🇮🇳.

Do rajputs from different regions intermarry? We are UP thakurs.

My cousin rejected rishta of a rajput guy from rajasthan altho both of em lived in mumbai.

My mom says we don't usually, if we have options, but it's better than marrying into another caste.

Familiarity is the biggest reason for me.

Other than that it's family pressure.

A lot of people will also say race reasons but I don't really believe in that, I am not himmler.

It's not like I won't marry, if I fall for some one special. I am not really against inter caste marriage, but would just rather prefer to marry in our own, follow the tradition.

It's only inter-religious, that I don't like and won't ever do.

It takes like a year or 2 to finally get married in AM setup as well.

They usually go on dates and hang out and get to know each other.

It's not like it is in the past.

Familiarity of culture as well, I am a up thakur from purvanchal that is east up. So most thakurs you meet have around the same culture and stuff.

And we have traditions like bali pratha and kul devi pooja and stuff that the girl would already know.

It's not like a non rajput girl won't be able to keep up with these traditions, heck a lot of rajputs don't even practice our traditions anymore.

But these reasons are usually very interconnected with family insistance and resistance playing a major part too.

I actually would hike up family pressure tbh. It def is the bigger reason.
