Society of present day has been evolved after undergoing different phases- differentiated or undifferentiated. The society is and has been highly stratified in general but south Asian societies in particular are characteristically introverted. Indian societies are typically influenced by significant factors purported and perpetuated by alien cultures over the centuries and thereby assumed unique character hardly found anywhere. Northern India had been a battle ground being the land frontier of India with rest of world. People lire were hopelessly obliged to face every kind of force whether it was good or evil. External aggressors for conquests had their own motives while on the other hand cultural and religious intrusion had their own manifestations. This all led to evolution of distinct Indian culture typically composite and complex in its texture and structure.Caste, creed, religion, social mores and norms interwoven in its own way to give rise a completely unique character to Indian society with its own synthesized values and order. Historically, society in northern India is altogether different with respect to other distinct parts of India.Here in Haryana also castes become more prominent and influencing people's behaviour in social mil lieu and in this process religion relegated to backseat.Castes in northern states predominately not only influences functioning of social institutions but also dictates mode of social actions of its people. Over the different phases of social development castes become very rigid and hardly permits horizontal movements between different castes. But fortunately the prevailing situation is continuously under strain because of discrete impact of expanding educational network, forced urbanization and changing socio-economic and political scenario. People somehow recognized and accepted the phenomenon of inter caste marriages particularly i urban centres. Also those who belongs to rural areas and fall in such kind of inter community transgressions are compelled to find shelter in urban hideouts.
But society is so complex and new inevitable bonding are bound to arise. Village societies that were simple and social values and norms at a whole were applicable on each and every individual and group in equal terms. Social relations were very simple and straight. People living not only in same village but also of neighbourhood treated themselves brother en and sisters. This bondage is considered as sacred. Over the time these social relations crumbled by their own weight. Young ones are not committed to this old and outdated arrangements. New emotional relation peeps through their eyes beyond unrealistic brother-sister configuration. heavens have fallen sensing this new beginning. Not only tradition oriented people but also progressive bent of mind people are amazed and at a great loss in explaining and accepting these new moorings of young lads. Gotra is a key while arranging a mate both in rural and urban societies. Even the most advanced parents living in Haryana think of Gotra of his/her clan up to at least three generations. But what may come across, this social arrangement have to have pave way for new emerging needs both psychological and mental. History is the witness that change is every time resisted tooth and nail; and certain young people have to sacrifice their lives on the altar of this unthink for social device. New social order demands newer mores and norms accommodating new needs,requirements and demands of newer generation. what make come in the way new path is bound to evolve.
