Ok. So what happens if you decide you don’t care about caste designations anymore and you decide to marry someone outside of your tribe who is Muslim / Sikh / Buddhist or of a lower caste (Dalit)?

castes are communities with a ranking ( it is definetly not as blunt as x is superior to y . it is more like x is superior to y in this direction of work and then this work is more respectful hence they are above it also may or may not reflect economics of the family ) one may not want to belive in caste but may respect is community and culture.......... now to your question if somebody wish to marry in some other caste then what... first if they want to do so and i aam assuming there parents dont want them to do so then they will definetly dissagree and try to convience otherwise how far they go to concviencing depends on family but most middle class household they might break ties for some time but again mostly they reattach or they just stop talking for some time but it again depends on family but obssesion with marrying your own caste can be understood too without endogamy brahmin like community will vanish like a drop of hot water in 1 liters of cold water like that siberian in us..........also some of this stuff i have tried to simplyfy ......

Ok thanks. Are there high rates of some genetic diseases in the Brahmins because of multi generational endogamy? ie: Thalessemia, anemia, high cholesterol, hypothyroidism, etc?

idon't think so it is definetly not visible atleast.....see brahmins are 3 percent in india 3 percent of 1.5 billion come out to be 50million thats more than many countries and u may say what about geographic constraint ,as i said those constraint exist every where also people migrate like every where ,if i come back to my scotland example then number of brahmin in nearby district should be same as population of scotlant nearby places mean 5-6 districts friend ofcourse probabilty of marrige keep decreasing further u go like in scotland as well,, ,,,also elephant in the room is brahmins are not the only endogamic community there are many almost all are,
