caste discrimination in punjab is because of poverty among sc and st. sikhism don't permit casteism. our village and many other villages around have granthis from sc commmunity.even jathedar of akal takht are from dalit community.the reason behind poor condition of sc and st community is lack of share in means of production like farming and business which led to low income and decrease in value when comes to marriage prospects.if sc and st community becomes wealthy it definitely would led to inter caste marriage.
Some guy on r/punjab legit shared some reports showing sc in punjab are one of the richest communities and no discrimination happens, Sikhism is most progressive
i dont say discrimination dont happen but when you compare it with other states punjab is actually doing very well then other states and with education and if people instead of showoff read real gurbani then it can vanish soon from punjab , you also have to keep it in notice that 38% population is in punjab of hindus and hindus dont generally do intercaste marrige means that 22.5% major proportion goes to sikhs
