Mr. 'original' did > not think of a lot of problems before posting that letter. As many have pointed out I did not neccessarily choose the most eloquent wording for the original posting. I apologize to anyone who may have been offended. The purpose of the original posting was just to generate discussion, not to offend any one. I would also like to define the different paths for love marriages so that future debate/discussion will not confine the scope of love marriages. 1) Marriage to an Indian who has also come abroad to study 2) Marriage to an Indian American [Indo-American] (one who was brought up here) 3) Marriage to an American (exclusive of #2 above) 4) Returning to India and having a love marriage Previous discussions have made references to Type 3 (from above) love marriages and a bit on Type 1. I think the most important of these is Type 4.
