It doesn't make it acceptable. You can live with it but you can also work to change it by not participating in it. Just my thought. By the way, I live in New Delhi.

Cops asking for a bribe is not a big thing here. Its a common practice that happens everyday! Its not only cops, its rampant in almost every govt department here. A sad state of affairs.

There's a modern arranged marriage system that's developed. It's practiced more in the US than here, but also here. In this method, parents or family does the introduction, but the rest is left to the guy and the girl. They usually meet and hang out, spend time together and then decide if they want to take things forward. It's not exactly love marriage but it's not a traditional arranged marriage either. Being 1.5 Generation Indian, I cannot really do an arranged marriage. Unfortunately for me, the people who could help me with the modern arranged marriage method really aren't useful because they would be introducing me to folks that I would just not be compatible with due to them having limited foreign exposure. It's a big problem now I am facing. Single at 40 is going to be my mantra sooner than I think.
