I feels the government should do more to encourage inter-caste marriage. “If they are really serious about ending the caste system, they should provide a government job to women who marry outside her caste,”

I am Navin Kumar. I am from Bihar. I am studying here in JNU, NEW
DELHI.I have a dream to do something for the peoples who losE their
lives for their love or gets separated from each other only for the
reason that they belong to other caste or religion. Actually i have
been suffering from this agony since July this year. I belong to Hindu
community and in love with a girl who come from a Rajput family. No
one is supporting us for the marriage. We tried utmost but nothing
happened right. Finally she is getting married under pressure of her
family. This is so painful for me .I do not know how do i handle this
for the lifetime.This is unbearable. But from now onwards i dont want
to see any other couple to suffer from such pain of separation which i
am having now.I want to do something for such couples through DHANAK.
So i request you to suggest me the way to join this Ngo.
Thank you
Your loving
