With matrimonial columns filled with ads for Nair boys, Pisharody boys, Ezhava boys and the like seeking alliances from girls “from the same caste”, it seems Kerala’s Dinkoists are beginning to feel left out.

Rasmin Shivashankar, a Dinkoist from Paravoor, put up an ad in the classified section of the Sunday edition of the Malayalam daily Mathrubhumi, seeking a bride who also worshipped Dinkan.

Reposting the ad on Facebook, Rasmin, said that he had resorted to the ad because of the difficulty in finding a fellow Dinkoist for marriage. He said that he had resorted to newspaper classifieds because online portals discriminated against adherents to his faith.

“I have an account on Bharat matrimony website, but they do not have Dinkoism as a religion in their options. Is this not discrimination towards minorities?" Rasmin lamented.
