	Gotra
		Gotra could be one of the 'Aryanized' old Indian traditions considering the different terminologies used and different names used to denote the lineages and also different ways of inheritance(See "Inheritance of Gotra" below").
		Brahmin communities' gotras are normally named after a great mythological Rishis, and belonging to a particular gotra generally implies patrilineal descension from the rishi, whom the gotra is named after.
		The reasoning is that marrying within one's gotra would be akin to marrying one's sister and would be akin to Incest.

	Gotra
		Gotra A term applied to a clan, a group of families, or a lineage - exogamous and patrilineal - whose members trace their descent to a common ancestor, usually a sage of ancient times.
		At weddings, the gotra of the bride and the groom are proclaimed aloud to establish that they are not breaking this socially ordained genetic precaution.
		Gotra closely connected with the concept of gotra is that of pravara which is the invocation of Agni by the name of the ancestral sage of whichever Brahmin consecrates the sacrificial fire.

		Gotra is one of the many considerations that exist during match making in the traditional manner.
		Today most of us may not be aware as to what Gotra is. Its meaning is lost and it is doubtful whether even the astrologers who compare horoscopes can satisfy an inquisitive student as to the origin and meaning of Gotra and the reason why identical Gotras preclude a match in a traditional Hindu marriage.
		The prohibition on marriage outside a Gotra was made irrelevant by individual ownership of property and the custom of inheritance whereby property passed from father to son.

	Which factors are considered while arranging marriage? \| 16 Sanskars
		The gotra (lineage), pravar (ancestral lineage) and the pinda
		The gotra (lineage): When arranging a marriage first one should find out if the gotra and pravar of both the families match and then the horoscopes of the boy and girl should be matched.
		The offspring of those marrying within the same gotra is known as chandal (meaning one who is weak physically, psychologically and morally) - ‘Dnyantastu sagotradyutpannanam chandaltvamev (ज्ञानतस्‍तु सगोत्रद्युत्‍पन्‍नानां चाण्‍डालत्‍वमेव ।)’ The frequency of genetic disorder is heightened by marriage within the same gotra (sagotra) and same lineage (sapinda).

	Re: Gotra
		The gotra classification took form probably (according to some accounts) sometime during the Yajur Veda period, after the Rig Veda period (some scholars have attributed this to the fact that Rig Veda seem to point to Charana more frequently that gotra).
		The sampling of various Brahmin families across India indicates that the gotras (their names) vary from place to place and may be more than 49 (this number seem to be generally accepted by many scholars).
		The gotra system was instituted for the purposes of identifying one's ancestors and pay respects during various invocations and other rituals to honour their fathers, fore-fathers and so on, up to their respective rishis.

		Gotra claims are as ludicrous as Pakistani nuclear smuggler A Q Khan, claming that he was a lineal descendant of Mahmud of Ghazni!
		Similarly, a gotra is nothing more than a fanciful claim: it can be amusing (like how we all find astrology amusing) but no one can or should take it seriously.
		And for some village elders to decide that because of a common gotra, a couple cannot marry and are siblings is nonsense at its worst.

		Partners are selected by the fathers, and marriages are arranged, and compulsory.
		Marriage and the Gotra system, the means of assimilating new members while maintaining group identity, exemplify the identificatory habitus.
		Gotras originated as sacrificial communities and evolved into a system of fictive kinship forbidding certain marriages within certain overlapping patrilinear lines of descent.

		His mother is a serving-girl, not a dāsī attached to a permanent household whose son could have named his father and his gotra, but a parichārikā, serving for hire at various houses, “resorting to many” and therefore unable to name her son's father.
		It is noticeable also from this and other instances that it was the father's position that fixed the son's, and the mother's seems to have been of very minor importance.
		The question about the gotra was of importance, probably, with regard to the rites and other circumstances of initiation.

		Actually, what the word gotra is alluding to, is knowing which has become, all at once, an object of itself.
		Now, beginning with the intuition of seeing knowing itself, called the "gotra", the adept brings the gotra up in their mind's eye tens of thousands of times for many years.
		It is analogous to cultivating a seed, or the gestation of an embryo in a mother's womb.

		The present meaning of gotra is that 'he is the offspring of a Rishi or family of Rishis'.
