Does caste of a child depend on mother or father?

 

Does  caste  of a child depend on mother  or father?

 

By

P.R.Ramachander

 

A few years  back a high  court of our country decided that caste  of a child depends on caste  of the father.

 

WE will  take only the case  of Sage Vyasa  who collected  the Vedas , edited them and divided  in to four  books

 

Sage Vyasa  himself was  the son of sage Parashara  and Mathya Gandhi – a fisher woman –But  he was  considered  as a brahmin  and he  was permitted to  edit Vedas.

Because of this we think  the caste  of son is determined  by that of father

 

But  Sage Vyasa  himself  had   four children

 

1.      Brahmin wife   -sage  Shuka(Brahmin)

2.      Kshatriya lady  -Dritharashtra(Kshatriya )

3.      Kshatriya lady-Pandu (kshatriya)

4.      Shudra  lady  -Vidhura (Shudra)

 

Proving that  that  his  caste was determined by his father, the caste  of his children   was  determined by their mother’s caste
