Should I ask his CASTE before loving him?

Umm.. what are you wearing on farewell? Saree , hell yeah, I am going to wear saree for the first time. Me and friends were too busy with our externals, board preparations and shopping. Last day in the school was fun.Farewell is always a blend of mixed feelings where you can see happy faces with tears embedded on eyes, Board exams ended and now is the time to say Goodbye to old friends and start a fresh life. Everyone promised to keep in touch which started to fade away with time. Now, the time was to get enrolled in their dream colleges for further studies and to bid for a flourishing and successful person. Entering into college was entirely a different phase, new place, new people, new friends and new start of the life. Session began with introduction to each other and seniors. Fresher party was thrown by seniors and everyone began to strike up with others more closely. Everything was blooming. friendships, college, semester after semester,  and it was the farewell party again, sad faces, crying hearts and another promise to keep in touch was meant to be broken with some and meant to hold for lifetime with one. It felt like those three years ended in blink of a second but in that span of time I experienced so many things, went through many ups & downs and he was the one who stood up by my side as my support system throughout.

As the days passed, We got Jobs and settled down. Old friends were now seen only on our social media friend's list, Oh poor us, our lives got so tangled up with new responsibilities and slot for old friends became narrower. After 2 years , we decided to get married now but it was daunting experience to convince our families as we belonged to different castes. I started to think whether I should have asked him his caste before loving him? or inquiring about his family first was a better idea? Why can't our families come up to each other as humans?Is caste a barrier for educated people also? why do only Indians face these caste barriers? Why caste an obstruction? Why are we victims of caste issues? Sick people, I kept asking so many questions to myself that night & went to sleep clueless.

Pity on Indian society, Nobody had ever taught me to love a person by seeing his religion, caste, language, race but this was the most cruel side of the family traditions.
We decided to give another chance to our relationship. We mustered up the courage and put all our efforts & this time we were able to convince our parents after so long heated arguments, disapproval and non-acceptance for four months. We finally wedlock on the date mutually decided by both the families.The most awaited day finally arrived where a warm welcome was offered to wedding procession followed by great food & gifts and then the groom side welcomed our family on reception day.

Everything in life is going great, so refreshing and feels as our efforts rejuvenate our life now. we are on cloud nine as we have won some crown.It's been four and half years of our successful marriage and even today we wonder that we could have never met someone like each other. I still thank God who made us for each other and finally caste barrier stands nowhere.
