Yes SSC,

Yes SSC,
You are correct about the caste system and the arranged marriages. We do mention the caste and religion on our applications (to get entry to the college etc) and as you said it is for the purpose of reservation. We have some seats reserved for some castes (Which were considered as below poverty line) and for women (To encourage girls to study and get a good jobs). The reservation was introduced 50 years back and it is extended every 5 years by polititians for political gains (fear of loosing votes). And marriage system is mostly arranged marriages only, and the % of people getting divorced is very less when compared to some other countries. That is a positive point, and I think that is one of the reason here the people feel arranged marriages are a good option. Here the people are more flexible to take or work in a new technology that is one of the reason to be good in software development. Our political system has to be developed a lot, we should learn from other countries. All you people I "Thank you" for showing interest in our country.
