Um... India is not that backwards

Dating is common in India. Just thought I'd put it out there in case not everyone knew.

ehh, dating isn't that great. maybe the non-dating parts have it right. it's not necessarily backwards not to date. you can also choose your own husbands and wives without dating.

If India is a place of massive domestic violence, castes and extensive misery, then there's no way the show can possibly be realistic and be light-hearted and funny. I think they have to treat this office as an intermediate zone where people are freer (although some prefer the traditional ways)

One thing which people from the West do, especially America is they tend to stereotype based on a significant group but not the whole picture - India has got immense problems such as poverty, and yes in rural areas at times old things like the caste discrimination still come in use. When it comes to Domestic violence, I don't think we should point fingers here - the majority of Indian men aren't even in the slightest bit abusive at all compared to many white men and black men - also depending where you go in India I know that domestic violence in the Punjab region is higher than than of South India (India has different races, cultures, and different perspectives how they view things wherever you go so it depends) - overall though America and many other places such as the UK still have high problems of domestic violence, and even though the UK and the US are really developed you also hear of the sickest cases there - children killing other children, children killing their own parents, and various high school shootings like Columbine for example - that does not happen in India.

That one guy is a retard.
Doesn't prove anything about our hygiene levels, thankyou very much.

And as a person who LIVES in India, I think I can be authority when I say - we date, we have sex (premarital or otherwise), we marry whomsoever we choose, we have live-ins, and we have open homosexual relationships as well (not to hurt anybody's sentiments) etc. Yes, there are certain restrictions, but they differ and diminish from region to region, or community to community, or from urban to rural. And even there it may differ depending on other factors.
It's really not that big a deal as you guys are somehow making out to be.

We have a traffic and road system which is quite good. Yes, it may not be as 'brilliant' as the USA or the UK, but it works for us.

For the record, and for the people who don't know any better, we have malls and brands from all over the world, we shop whenever we like, we have cars of every brand, we go to good schools and colleges and study all the subjects that you guys study, we dine in good places, we have 7-star hotels, we drink clean water. I really don't wanna go on. It's kinda silly. There's really no debate. All this is part of our routine daily life, as it is of yours.

Now quit it, and stop this dumb thread.
