So what is the above graph????
On the Y is the no. of Religions/Caste and in the X is the Ratio of No. of intercaste marriages to No. of Same Caste Marriages. What this graph is trying to explain is as the no. of intercaste marriages increases and becomes the greater than the count of same caste marriages there will be a decrease in the no. of religion, tending to a single religion.
To explain in simple terms consider the following example,
Male Female Religion
A B Christianity
C D Islam
E F Hinduism
G H Jainism
Assume intercaste marriage occurs and the male get converted to the religion of the female partner (to avoid Chauvinism) with the child also inheriting the mother's religion. Also, say they produce only 1 child and we get 2 male and 2 female children as shown below.
So A & D --> I (m) Islam
C & F --> J (m) Hinduism
E & H --> H (f) Jainism
G & B --> K (f) Christianity
Taking the intercaste marriages to the next level (i.e. with the children) we have
I & H --> L(f) Jainism
J & K --> M(m) Christianity
going on
L & M --> N Jainism
This convergence can be extended to N no. of population and at one point there will be a convergence towards one religion and hope that is Love...
