99% of castes are Patrilineal, meaning sometimes they may marry out of caste women, but never allow an out of caste man in
Effectively castes are patrilineal tribes of male cousins and extrapolating this backward, means they have same Y-DNA and Gotra
The only surefire way to stop same gotra marriages is for widespread inter-caste marriage, more specifically intercaste marriage with backward castes and SC-ST
