..INDIA'S SUNDAY NEWSPAPERS
{In India, parents have traditionally found husbands or wives for their sons and daughters. Today, the parents are using a new technique in their search-advertisements in the Sunday newspapers. In addition to helping young people ,find suitable marriage partners, these advertisements reflect the changes that are occurring in Indian society.}
1- Every Sunday morning millions of Indians settle down with a cup of tea and the special weekend issues of their newspapers, just as Americans do. But ,here with the marriage season approaching many them turn quickly to a Sunday feature that is particularly Indian-the columns and columns of marriage, advertisements in which young people look for husbands and wives.
2- "Beautiful Brahman, girl, wanted for bank officer from well-connected family," one says. "Vegetarian” man (doctor, engineer preferred) for, church-educated ,girl with light complexion, says another. "Solid 25-year-old" salary four figures, wants tall, charming educated Punjabi," says a third.
3- This is a relatively modern change in the age-old custom of the arranged marriage. The thousands of advertisements published each week, increasingly reflect social changes that are coming to this traditional society. For example, although women are still usually described in terms of appearance, or skills “in the wifely arts," information about their earning power is entering more and more of the advertisements. This reflects the arrival in India of the working wife.
