Re: Importance Of Caste In Marriage
Respect people for their deeds, not their ancestory. Syeds gets no special respect from me, purely because of who they are.
Btw, pakistani caste system is based on a hierarchy, where you have upper, middle and lower tier castes. Thats really the whole issue with the Pakistani caste system.
Re: Importance Of Caste In Marriage
Caste is different than tribe. Jaahil Pakistanis use a term that actually refers to a Hindu custom...which even India is giving up on.
We are so backwards.
I'm fun and lively and hospitable too. So I guess zareen khan is a memon.
Re: Importance Of Caste In Marriage
so Memons also got Khans? 
Interesting.
Re: Importance Of Caste In Marriage
How is wanting to marry only within the tribe any better than wanting to marry only within the caste ?
Re: Importance Of Caste In Marriage
TRUE Khan = Pathaans.
Re: Importance Of Caste In Marriage
TRUE Khan = Pathaans.
That's another thing...lots of Pathaans complain about other people not being real Pathaans...I find that odd.
Re: Importance Of Caste In Marriage
Haha. I am a Khan but I dont consider myself a TRUE BLUE Pathan. My dada's dad may have been one (i think) but my dada spoke urdu all the way and was a muhajir. I dont get this whole caste thing too.
Most Khans I know are not Pathan.
Re: Importance Of Caste In Marriage
A "true" Khan is called a Pashtun/Pakhtun. A pathan is someone who can claim Pashtun ancestry but does not speak the language, does not follow the Pashtunwali etc.
A Khan is not always a Pashtun, for example Rajputs use the name Khan too.
Re: Importance Of Caste In Marriage
I don't understand why people make such a big deal about this whole caste thing. Allah swt has said everyone id equal 'an Arab has no superiority over a non Arab and a White has no superiority over a black' vice versa. Therefore being of a higher or lower caste makes no difference when the world comes to an end just like a rich man the poor will have the same size grave. Him being rich won't make difference at the end. Similarly caste is all culture made up by jahil people who have very little knowledge of their religion.
Re: Importance Of Caste In Marriage
This caste thing is stupid, especially if it restricts you from finding your true love, I've asked my dad about it, and he said I will get married to a girl the same as me, it's just annoying to think about it and it makes me kind of angry to, to think your marrying someone not out of love or happiness but to preserve a bloodline, whats so special about it anyways?

Nothing is special about it, it's all culture not religion. What jobs our ancestors did has nothing to do with our life's today. That's just like saying today your in a job as a dentist tomorrow your caste will be dentist. It's all taken from the Hindus and us Pakistanis have not let go. Tomorrow when it's the day of judgement Allah categorise us in order of caste.
Im going through similar situation myself I'v got to know someone of lower caste and my parents have said that a strict no as they guy is not worthy of me because of caste!! It's so frustrating!
