A murder that was committed in Kerala recently shows the influence of caste in non-Hindu religions. A 'Dalit' Christian youth fell in love with a highcaste Christian girl. The family of the girl tried to turn back the lovers using both carrots and stick. But the girl and her lover were adamant and they decided to elope and marry. The girl's brother and a few relatives joined together and kidnapped the youth and murdered him. The interesting fact is that the parents of the girl had an inter-religious love marriage. Her father is a Christian and her mother is a Muslim! Her Muslim cousins also participated in the murder of the youth. Members of both Christian and Muslim families had come together in a conspiracy to prevent her marriage to a dalit youth!
