Does caste of child depend on Father or mother
Compiled by
P.R.Ramachander
Ravana was born to a maharshi(Brahmin) and a rakshasi- he was considered as a Rakshasa mostly and as a Brahmin some times
Parasara was a Brahmin- His son born out of a fisher women ,Veda Vyasa was a Brahmin
SAnthanu was a kshatriya-All his three sons(one by a river) and another2 by fisher women were kshatriyas
Does it mean the caste of son depends on father?
But
Veda Vyasa was a Brahmin- His son by a non Brahmin girl Vidhura was not Brahmin
-His sons by Kshatriya girls were Kshatriya
Does it mean that caste of son depends on mother?
