Pyaar karna paap nahi hain, Virodhi humaara baap nahi hain” (Love is not a sin, we won’t get bogged down by oppressors). With these lines, a group of likeminded individuals in New Delhi have united to help inter-caste couples tie the knot without fear of getting killed for ‘honour’ throughout the country, reports Sahim Salim
They call themselves the Love Commandos, and their popularity can be measured from the statistics. In just over three months, they have put together 2,000 volunteers, 12 helplines and have about two lakh pending membership applications. They have conducted over 6,000 inter-caste love marriages and counselled thousand others.
