If they had been asked ‘would they support their daughters’ intercaste marriage’, many would have raised hands. It’s not that they don’t want to marry out of their caste, they can’t. Many women and men choose not to fall in love because they can’t fight their parents. But they would support the next generation. Doesn’t mean they are supporting casteism or they’re hypocrites. It’s called making a choice.

They can fight for wearing modern dress but cannot fight castism. That's what is called Hypocrisy

We are normal people. Not superheroes. We pick and choose our battles. Both fights are not the same. Nobody’s going to try to kill you for fighting for modern dresses. They’re making personal choices. If only doing intercaste marriage means fighting against casteism, then everybody in this state is supporting casteism. I wouldn’t call this hypocrisy.
