gotra

gotra
Linaje dentro de una casta india que indica una descendencia común de un ancestro mítico.

El matrimonio entre miembros de un mismo gotra estaba prohibido por la tradición. Esta costumbre perseguía impedir la endogamia, y también extender la influencia de cada linaje por medio de alianzas matrimoniales. Originalmente el término designaba a ramas de la casta brahmán que descendían de siete videntes antiguos. Con posterioridad, el número de gotras aumentó y algunos grupos hindúes no brahamánicos también los establecieron.
