    I’m not an expert on their culture, but I do know that that caste system seems to divide people pretty strictly on racial or at least ‘skin color’ lines. But even if he’s dark-skinned (the lowest caste by far, as you are automatically ugly if you are dark-skinned) there would be plenty of trouble. I was told of these things by Indian Americans who grew up in the United States but who frequently go to India to visit relatives. You must also be aware that their culture looks at marriage somewhat differently than U.S. culture. It’s not that it is bad, but it is different, and this could open you up to a lot of hurt. The bottom line is that if he wants to marry you, he has to either 1) be prepared to defend himself and you from the racism you will encounter — including loss of career opportunities, or 2) abandon his culture, and maybe his family, and move here. And if you aren’t absolutely certain that you and he have the inner strength to fight this battle, you need to let it go.
