Book Synopsis Bollywood Weddings by : Kavita Ramdya

Download or read book Bollywood Weddings written by Kavita Ramdya and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bollywood Weddings examines how second-generation Indian-American Hindus of the middle and upper classes negotiate courtship and wedding rituals. Kavita Ramdya integrates the stories of twenty couples, showing the ways and means by which a subcommunity falls in love and expresses their identity. She provides readers with a window into these Indian-American couples who are navigating identities through a major rite of passage in their lives-marriage. She affirms that this community flaunts all things Indian as a way to assert their American identity. Many of these couples are occasional Hindus, displaying their Hindu religious background only on important occasions. Instead of choosing either India or America, or arriving at a compromise between the two, this community embraces both cultures simultaneously.
