What's the situation of caste system in your area?

For the last 10 years, I have seen a lot of progress in the erosion of the caste system in West Maharashtra. Like in my village, people sit together, eat together, and attend each other's marriage ceremonies. The Maratha population is in majority here, but we have considerable OBC and SC populations as well, along with 2 Brahmin families. All the elders from all these diverse caste backgrounds sit together like a band of long-lost friends. We have 2 intercaste marriages in the village - one where a Maratha guy married an SC girl and another where an SC guy married a Maratha girl. No violence or anything has taken place. It generally feels like everyone respects each other. Overall, I think the caste system will become a thing of the past if we all respect each other and consider each other as human. The Brahmin families also mix with the other caste communities and don't practice any untouchability or any form of superiority. So, I guess the caste system is eroding...
