Is Marriage A Joke

While chatting with the strangers on orkut as a part of my habit, eventually a topic of marriage was started. It was all about what marriage will bring to you. In many countries Divorce rate has been increased to 40% and fortunately in India it is still 2-3%. We were trying to find the reason and we came across certain facts...
People are not taking marriages seriously.
The countries where Divorce rate is high, about 50 years back there it was much harder to take Divorce and it used to be considered as very bad in the society and all the people and church would look down to Divorced person..
But now with the increase of liberty it has become normal, and fortunately in India despite of liberty still the situation is very Good and Divorce rate is very low.
I came to know that people in all the countries with the same thought as in India that they will spend all the life together but if the partner isn't so nice as they thought they just divorce and seek another partner. They don't think divorce as bad.
And now the situation in India is also becoming like that till today the situation India is like that it was in other countries 50 years back when people were scared of Divorse but the Day seems not to be far away when the situation in India will also be same.
As per the views of a foreigner "" If people just don't fit together they should not spend all their lives together and its better if people think about it before they get married. And it would be nicer if people just stay together.""
After this I am confused about what should be there.
Is the live in relationship a better option???
But honestly I am not in favor of that and as per me after getting married only your partner could be your best life partner!!!

What people outside India think about India

India is a beautiful country; this is what we know about India. Here I will try to present the views of foreigners that what they think about India.
After going through various surveys I came across various interesting and shocking facts.

India has much popularity in all the countries because of religious people over here, second because of tourism and various beautiful places like Goa, Aravallis, Lotus Temple etc.
People outside India have heard so many stories about India and mainly Buddhists thinks very positive about India because of its religiousness.
In general most people think it as very beautiful and spiritual country.

But there is harsh reality behind this sweet truth. Unfortunately India is known for the casteism which is prevailing in the roots of India.
Many human right authorities abroad don't like India because of casteism.
A daily soap is being broadcasted in Brazil about India. It is a story of Indian merchants who deals with Brazil. Unfortunately this serial is also displaying the casteism. This soap has a romance of a woman who is untouchable. So, this is the bitter fact of India. I have words with someone about how to improve this situation in India. He gave me some wonderful ideas about that. The two which I liked most and which seems to be practical are..
1. Education 2. Dialogue
1. Education can eradicate it from the roots. If everyone is aware of the fact that everybody is equal and same, then we can eradicate it from roots but large scale awareness is required.
2. Dialogue - let the people of high castes talk with the untouchables.
The people in many countries have never seen casteism but they have just read about that. As per their rules and mentality everyone is equal. Can't it be in India???
Yes, Why not?
No doubt it’s hard to change something that is deeply rooted in the minds/culture and it will take time but the contribution of every reader is required.
A girl from Netherlands was visiting India but she doesn't like that many people here were on drugs like the taxi drivers, coolies etc.
They have no standard of living. She found that they were earning for drugs and drinking.
