Merely Yes I did arranged marriage. I was in love with 3 girls at various times in my days before marriage. But what ever happens it is so. But even I did got attracted with my wife, and the love happened. Actually after seeing the girl, nearly after 1.5 years only we got married. We actually fought with parents to get married. Because even though same caste, the horoscope did not match, but we started liking each other, so we got married.
I have no division for humans, I do propagate this to many forums I have joined. If you are unclean, you are untouchable, that is all my view. And I cannot change India and If I can change myself that it self is greatest achievement. Your belief of all one is true. Oneness of universe. The space you see is enveloping all forms that exist in this visible universe. So you are the space, undivided one space.
