Gotra can be written as surname instead or nothing at all.
The state I'm from , caste system is totally eliminated anyways. I'm from a Bramhin family and many of my first cousins from both paternal and maternal sides married people of SC/ ST/ OBC castes and they're treated just as any other family member and nobody even bats an eyelash and ours is actually a very conservative family. None of my parents or grandparents believed in caste system and they don't care . All castes visit , drink , eat , attend family functions of each other and enjoy together. That is the norm . Not just at our house . Throughout the state
But the reservation system is getting more and more oppressive each day, reminding us that caste system very much exists.
Like I said ..
