How Scriptures are misread

"dosair etaih kula-ghnaanam, varna-sankara-kaarakaihutsadyante jati-dharmaah, kula-dharmaas cha sasvatah" (Gita 1:43). This has been translated by some as:The age old caste-traditions and family-customs will be destroyed due to the intermixture of castes created by bad deeds of these family destroyers. It is interpreted as 'actions of bypassing the eternal rich cultural and religious traditions ultimately result into bringing utter chaos in this mortal word'.
I think this is translation and interpretation is inadequate and may be misleading.
First, Lord Krishna did not mean religious rites/ rituals as the essence of Dharma. Here and everywhere Dharma could really mean properties/ tendencies. These are not merely and solely religious and covers physical, mental, psychological, cultural properties/ traditions that get imparted over generations among families and jatis - communities, castes, nations, tribes. There are periods when these traditions/ properties get challanged because of the inconsistency of these traditions/ rite/ rituals/ properties/ tendencies with the progress of civilization through material knowledge, science and technology. And, all these can change as a result over time. So, even age-old traditions/ customes get replced by new ones that in turn also get replaced after long time again. Lord Krishna is talking of not such changes in this verse. He is talking of changes through misdeeds.
Second, given this perspective, Lord Krishna is not talking of barna sankar as bad. Cross cultural/ family/ social/ community intermingling is not termed as bad or evil in the Gita. It could not have been considered as bad because intermingling is the essence of life in nature designed by God. Creation is nothing but transformation through intermingling of two or more - in plant life, in chemical processes, in atomic fusion/ fission,in human life, in poetry, in everything. What happens naturally is part of the dynamic process of natural equilibrium.So, when Lord Krishna talks about Varna Sankara as bad is when Varna Shankra happens as a result of bad or evil deeds. When such deeds multiply and dominate it disturbs the smooth evolutionary process and the forced destruction of traditions/ tendencies/ properties thant maintained harmony and ensured bond of love among people put large number of people suddenly without the bonding of trust, faith, love among people. That is when a great period of instability and vacum among people arises. This is the kind of Varna Sankara that Lord Krishna is saying as bad: this varna sankara is what leads to oppression of the weak, the honest, the knowledgable by a few wicked greedy persons and cause the trust among people to disappear. So, my submission is that to interpret Lord Krishna's words as being: iinter-caste marriages are bad, resulting in bad varna sankara is too far fetched and wrong. Similarly, Lord Krishna is not saying that long established traditions or religious ritualsas as something good by themselves for all the time to come. He is saying only that sudden destruction of these traditions by misdeeds of a few cause a great disruption in the life of the people at large. And, it is because such disruptions can take place from time to time, God himself arranges to directly/ indirectly manifest and intervene to restore social order and equilibrium. The new social orde brings trust back again and give rise to the development of new groups/ caste, new traditions/ rites/ rituals/ properties among different people with the bond of new traditions and tendencies.
