Why Did My Caste Question Cause Him To Ghost Me?

F29 | CTC not relevant | Ghosted after asking about caste. I am a Bihari - origin girl born and brought up near Kolkata. Most of my neighbours are Bihari as well, although most of my school friends and college friends are Bengalis. For the last 7 years, I've been working as an accountant in a small firm in Howrah. Recently, I joined a gym in my hometown (where I stay with my parents) and noticed a Bengali guy: he was mildly muscular, worked out wearing earphones , and talked to no one except the trainers. A few months after I joined the gym, he and I ended up using the same machine at the same time. We struck off a conversation and became friendly very quickly, sharing everything from diseases / injuries, hormone cycles, work, weather, etc. Somewhere along the way, I developed a crush on him (I had a feeling that the feeling was mutual). Before proceeding any further, I wanted to verify our compatibility. So I asked him which caste he belonged to. As soon as I asked him the question, he stared at me as if I was a criminal. He rudely replied that he has no caste, and walked away. Since that day, he rarely acknowledgdes me in the gym (and puts on his earphones if he sees me). I don't get what I did or said wrong. Please advise

Most Bengalis hate caste-motivated relationships, hence the reality you're facing. For us, caste is as irrelevant as it can get. The only thing that matters to us is how you are as a person. By asking about caste, you created the worst possible first impression.

What kind of backward question is this πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ No bengali in their sane mind would entertain this kind of shallowness.... Girl or boy.....if u think compatibility comes with caste or any other social stratification then ur singnifiers of genuine partnership is broken 😊 PS : My caste is General πŸ™‚ in case u think I speak from my "caste insecurities" as suggested by many delulus here !

Bengalis normally have mixed caste. So you pressed the wrong button. Plus he dodged bullet. Respect for the guy.

Some people here are suggesting that the man might belong to a very low caste (did they mean 'untouchable'?) and that he felt ashamed to reveal his background to this girl who was clearly drawn to him. In response, I would simply point out that the notion of a "low" caste has traditionally been far more ambiguous in Bengali Hindu society. The rigid caste hierarchies that have persisted elsewhere in India never existed in Bengal or Assam.

Ask a bengali anything but his or her caste. We don't believe in it. We just carry out surnames to show our family identity and gotra.

You did the best thing ever. Before you get emotionally invested, Confirming the caste you dodged a bullet. He could have replied Caste category if he was OBC but it seems he is from ΰ€Άΰ₯‹ΰ€·ΰ€Ώΰ€€ ΰ€ͺΰ₯€ΰ€‘ΰ€Όΰ€Ώΰ€€ ΰ€΅ΰ€‚ΰ€šΰ€Ώΰ€€ caste. You did what every girl especially girl should always do before "falling in love"

you did not do anything wrong, but saved your heart from getting used. the guy, however, was not into the game. He might be healing from sth. who knows. But you beware of such thing in gym. it is not a place assigned for dating tbh.

Obviously a Bihari

He seems genuinely offended. Most Bengalis are highly educated and broad-minded. But his reaction seemed a bit much for just one question. Judging by the other comments, it also seems to be a taboo topic for many Bengalis. Maybe it was a big deal to him, or maybe he's just a bit rude. Leave it. Don't try to talk to him now. And if he also had a crush on you, I think he would've reacted differently.

As a Bengali myself, Bengalis don’t flaunt their caste… even asking about it, is considered rude. We are proud of our ethnic identity. Casteist is a red flag for us

29 years old and you still have an underdeveloped brain. Bengali bro dodged a bullet.
