Same-gotra marriages give birth to 'hijras': Khap leader


CHANDIGARH/HISAR: Hijras (eunuchs) are born when couples from the same gotra get married. This shocking statement came from some angry khap leaders when a scientist tried to tell them that gotras and blood relation were two different things and all members of a gotra cannot be brothers and sisters.

The outburst came on Tuesday during a one-of-a-kind workshop funded by Union ministry of women and child development at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University in Hisar to invite measures to stop honour killings in khapland.

Retired senior plant breeder of the university, Dr Mahavir Singh Narwal told leaders from a dozen-odd khaps, "How can two lakh members of a gotra be brothers and sisters? Only those born to the same parents can be called siblings. It is not necessary that there would be adverse impact of same gotra marriages."

On this khap leaders stood up and protested. Senior khap leader, Kuldeep Singh Dhanda went on stage and said, "If same gotra marriages have no impact why are hijras born? Why do we have genetic diseases?"

He even claimed that 90% of eunuchs are born in those communities or religions which don't believe in the gotra system. He also named minority communities and suggested that their numbers were dwindling because of marriages between people who have close blood relations.

"We have done informal surveys which have revealed that side-effects are visible in such communities," Dhanda said. "In fact, maximum sportspersons come from those areas which believe in the gotra system."

Targeting Narwal, Pratap Singh Dahiya of Dahiya khap said, "This scientist has done experiments on trees, but human body is different."

Vice-chancellor of the university, KS Khokar, said, "I have witnessed khap leaders taking decisions since my childhood. I have seen that khaps always take right decisions for the welfare of Haryana."

Same Gotra means common ascetic ancestry if am not wrong. And ouch! That hurts

Also, I do not agree about his comments on hijras, as there is no scientific evidence to prove this. Also, what he said is disrespectful to Indian hijra community, so he should be more mindful next time.

c

)) he even named minority community for it. So which one is it?

 

[PlanetWarrior]

This gotra thing is still enforced even in Hindu communities who have lived out of India for decades. The South African and Zimbabwean Hindu communities still check their gotras when a couple decide to marry.

)) he even named minority community for it. So which one is it?

Most probably worshippers of an Abrahamic religion

Nobody follows them except in Harayana and some rural areas in other parts of India.
so he may have named any particular community but hsi statement covers all religions of India

Brilliant.

We need more people like him to challenge the fundamental beliefs in the scientific community.

Khaps are a major reason why Haryana is so backward. These khap pachayat idiots should all be put in jail for life for fraud.

Can we legally ban Khap panchayats??
