Matrimony and the rishta

Community

The caste, sub-caste or social group a family belongs to — one of the first fields in any Indian matrimonial profile.

"Community" on a matrimonial profile is the polite word for caste, sub-caste and the wider social group: Agarwal, Iyer, Jat Sikh, Nair, Patel, Reddy and hundreds of others. Most families still search within their own community first and widen from there; some search without it entirely.

It is a searchable field on TrueSaath, and it can be left open by families who prefer that.
