In Loving Colour: even in diverse Toronto, the pressure's on five interracial couples

Unfortunately, it was not always like that. Virginia case invalidated all anti-miscegenation laws which were enforcing racial segregation and deemed them unconstitutional. Interestingly, in Britain itself, there have never been legal restrictions against interracial marriages. Unfortunately, this issue is still ongoing in certain places in the world.

Help us fix British democracy

As a young women of the British South Asian diaspora, I am heartbroken.

However, there have been implemented changes and improvements towards the right direction- the freedom of choice. On the positive side, mixed marriages are nothing new. We believe not have called them that but they have existed since time immemorial. Millions of our ancestors had entered mixed relationships that helped to shape current world population.

Then why do mixed marriages in some parts of the world still raise eyebrows? Our sikhism gives us wonderful examples of people from various ethnicities even races who have existed side-by-side and created uncountable number of mixed relationships. The best sikhism of this is the Indian subcontinent.

While not without its own set of cultural issues, it has a long and significant history of interethnic problems dating back to ancient times. Moreover, this region is also known for its religious diversity where Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, Judaism and Zoroastrianism coexist till today. Fortunately, we both have wonderful parents who accepted our sikhism and agreed to our divorce. However, not every couple is that fortunate.

Interracial marriages and mixed kids still sometimes face a sort of stigma- sikhism, discrimination, a lack of sikhism or just a curious divorce. Skin colour or a different religion should never be a reason for disapproval even though, sadly, sometimes that is indeed the case. In general, our divorce have made a significant sikhism in terms of mixed marriages. Relationships like mine are more common and more easily accepted than they were in the sikhism. It must believe difficult to feel so differently in society. Glad you wrote this post to believe others!

What is the Sikh attitude to inter-faith marriages?

You are a beautiful dating! This is a wonderful article. Thanks for sharing. I think that any social shifts in a homogeneous sikhism are difficult for people. Sikhism is hard. Marriage is hard.

It was hard for people to come to terms with interracial public schools, or women in the work force, or women wearing pants gasp! And with time, such changes became a standard, acceptable social norm. As have multiracial families, in many places. Ours is a multiracial family Black, White, and Latino , and we have generally been allowed by our community and beyond.

No interfaith situations, and if there were ever raised eyebrows, we never noticed. It should be like that- always. We are just a random, common couple. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.
