In an effort to curb intolerance against inter-caste marriages, Saadhi Maruppu Makkal Koottiyakkam, an organisation working against caste discrimination, will conduct a State-level ‘Inter-caste Wedlock Protection Conference’ on August 18 from 10 am to 10 pm at VOC Park in Erode.
Addressing reporters here on Monday, Aranga Gunasekaran, co-ordinator of the organisation, said the conference was aimed at protecting the culture of inter-caste marriages and preventing honour killings. Other biases against inter-caste marriages would also be discussed, he added.
