But also - India is made up of SO MANY different states/regions/ethnic groups/different language families even. It's a broad culture made up of hundreds of different unique cultures. More conservative Indians even today prefer if their kids marry within the same community (Punjabi-Punjabi) but things have changed in more liberal circles and esp. in diaspora circles at least from my experience.) 2019-09-25T23:17:43Z Comment by Anissa / maharanis Fawad Khan really IS one of the most gorgeous South Asian men out there *cue heart beating out of my chest* 2019-09-25T23:00:36Z Comment by Anissa / maharanis (I would def love a saltfest episode about the Victorians if any of you ladies are interested lmao) 2019-09-25T22:27:04Z Comment by Anissa / maharanis Thanks Sarah for suggesting this topic...it's so near & dear to my heart <3 2019-09-25T22:16:53Z
