Intermarriage alone can dissolve the caste system.
Evidence
There are many castes which allow inter-dining. But it is a common experience that inter-dining has not succeeded in killing the spirit of caste and the consciousness of caste. I am convinced that the real remedy is intermarriage. Fusion of blood can alone create the feeling of being kith and kin, and unless this feeling of kinship, of being kindred, becomes paramount, the separatist feeling—the feeling of being aliens—created by caste will not vanish. … The real remedy for breaking caste is intermarriage. Nothing else will serve as the solvent of caste. — Ambedkar, B R, Annihilation of Caste_ The Annotated…, 947
