In a Sunday copy of the Times of India - a reputable piece of mainstream rag, there was a pullout section that totalled 8 pages of individuals looking for life partners (or alliances as they had been termed).
India has been termed as the world's largest democracy and it truly is. There is no discernible discrimination in how the ads are placed when the individuals were looking for alliances. They have the not so easy to cubby hole ads like these.
With even special interest groups being catered for
And ads based on vocation
And religion
And Castes
How much more democratic can you be? The most common theme that I observed in all these ads were that the individuals tends to be Handsome/ pretty, Slim/ healthy, good family, professionals, have USA residence through Green Card, Highly educated, etc., etc. If this was true, why do they find it so difficult to find a life partner?? Hmmmm.....
I brought back the pullout for the single people in the office. There has been at least one who was willing to consider an overseas "investment". Good Luck Ian!!
