People belonging to a particular gotra may not be of the same caste (as there are many gotras which are part of different castes) in the Hindu social system. However, there is a notable exception among matrilineal Tulu speakers, for whom the lineages are the same across the castes. People of the same gotra are generally not allowed to marry.
Marriages between different gotras are encouraged; marriage within the same gotra started to happen later. For example, Jats, Gurjars, and Rajputs have 13,000 Gotras . And Mudirajas of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu have 2,600 Gotras. Gotra is always passed on from father to children among most Hindu communities.
