If I am reading this correctly you are concerned because your society says you are not a good match for some caste that is different than yours, am I correct so far? I cannot change your culture. Or traditions. But have to ask if you associate with people of your own caste to which you may have more in common with, or are all the guys you meet in another caste.

I think this is more societies concern than yours. And you are just caught up in it. Talk to your mom and get some understanding on what she thinks. And maybe it will help you get beyond the way others see things, and how they often affects us with there own views. Yes it can be depressing, but it can also be overcome in time, as you grow, learn, and understand better.

I think we all, no matter the country, culture, or traditions get overwhelmed when we are faced with difficult events in our lives, and have tough choices to make. That can be very depressing, but keep your head up, and work through it with the love, and support of your family.

I imagine your mom knows full well what you are going through so talk to her.

Much Luck, and prayers.
