Some dishes have been lost with time but many more quick and easy recipes have taken their place now.I guess it is all a matter of convenience and changed life style. Now we see a fusion of dishes too, some of which are nice because they suit the Indian palate ,

True. Elders both in rural and urban regions are unaware of the ill effects of marriages within the family.

In the south marriage between cousins ( brother and sisters children) is very common and preferred because of various reasons. In some communities marrying mother's brother is also the norm and is very much in practice ..
In North these type of marriages are not allowed. If couple have same Gotra, then may be they have no family relation, are considered as brother and sister and not allowed to marry.
True, it is not healthy but like Rambabu said this is done for property and financial reasons..It also has the blessings of the family elders and the community members.

Definitely Law of diminishing returns apply to marriages made within the relations. The level of profits or benefits gained in the marriages within the family are less than the profits as believed by certain section of the society

So many breakfast dishes are vanishing and have been replaced by bread as working couples are in a hurry to leave house as fast to reach offices in time.

Marriages within the relative circles lead to the birth of deformed children. But this practice is prevalent in villages. The intention is to keep the wealth and lands within the family.

In reality marriage between close relations increases the chances of produceing genetically deficient children. Scientifically these should be avoided.

An intelligent person usually is well read the converse may not necessarily be true. Experience acts like a chisel sharpening the intellect.
I am tempted to narrate some stories. There is a Sanskrit language story of a boy who learnt astrology. He weant to king's court with his father. The king tried to test his knolwdge. He asked what was in his hand. The boy found out astrologocally that the king had something round shaped with some hole. He quickly told. The king joyously asked- Correct. Now tell what is exactly this. The boy said- ginding machine. He could not even understand that the grinding machine was too big to hide in hands. The king had a ring in his palm. This shows that knowledgeable person may not be intelligent.
another story. a very learned man crossed a river in a boat. He asked the boatman if he knew Sanskrit. The boatman replied- No. Then 25% of your life is wasted- said the man. Nest he asked if he knew mathematics. The boatman did not knbow. He was illiterate. As illuck would have it, a fierce storm and heavy rain disbalanced the boat. The boatman asked- Do you know swimming? No- said the learned man. Boatman said- Your whole life is waste.
Everyone has knowlege. But all knowledge is not useful everywhere. Where swimming is needed, maths, Sanskrit, Vedas are of no use.
You are intelligent if tyou can use your knowledge correctly. You are intelligent if your knowledge is practical.
Both the examples say in no uncertain terms that knowledge without application to real life situation is an exercise in futility.

Marriage between blood relation is not good for healthy offsprings. The Ghotra system is in Hindus only but the underlying priciple is just that there should not be marriages between blood relation.

True, but first knowledge has to be gained and that is where individuals differ because all are not in a position to acquire it in same amounts for a variety of reasons.

Pathetic. True. As I said earlier, I served in a major steel plant in AP and in a private Advertising agency after my voluntary retirement. Both gave me job security as well as incentives.
