- Interesting, very interesting. Is there any literature on marriages
- between people from different parts of India. Our own country is more
- like a continent, and a bengo marrying a tamilian is not very differnt
- than a german marrying a spaniard. Are there any good books on that
- subject? Ofcourse that is such a "your mileage may vary" subject.
