History Repeats Itself

Was just talking to a friend of mine.. His parents are thinking of getting him married....

I asked him... wat kind of girl is parents looking for...

"I just want some one who is matured and talkative types.."

"Mom-Dad want her to be well educated and pretty, and from a family of our stature"

"Dadaji says she should be UP brahmin"

This is pretty usual these days... right?

Some Couple of Thousand Years back, all a father wanted was

"My daughter in law should be from well-educated family"

Just that today we call that "well educated family" as brahmin, and that father as propagator of caste-ism..

PS: I am sorry if I offend anyone. This is just a thought...
