In modern #India, intercaste marriages are still deemed unacceptable. So much so, they often lead to violence and honour killings. Lovebirds on the run from enraged relatives can turn to Love Commandos, volunteers who provide shelter and legal aid. Although the law is on the couples’ side, many don’t go to police, often complicit in persecuting such couples. Indians who defied their families and communities share their thoughts on India’s caste system and why love #marriages are still a problem. This is a short version of our documentary, Love Commandos.
