% Economic prosperity and urbanization have had a tremendous impact on our society, and many of the nation’s traditional values have been jettisoned or entirely reinvented. Nowhere is this more visible than in the way we fall in love, view marriage and disregard sexual taboos. In her path-breaking book, the author explores, through reallife stories, phenomena like gay love, the mating game on college campuses, arranged marriage, divorce and the burgeoning porn industry—to present a comprehensive portrait of love, sex and marriage in today’s India.
