Book Summary
India in Love: Marriage and Sexuality in the 21st Century is a ground-breaking look at the sexual revolution that is beginning to sweep through urban India. Bestselling author Ira Trivedi travelled from Shillong in the northeast to Chennai in the south, Konark in the east to Mumbai in the west and over a dozen other cities and towns, in order to gain unprecedented insights into changing sexual mores, marriage and love in the 21st century.
The book explores the mating habits of young Indians on college campuses and in offices, examines the changing face of Indian pornography and prostitution, probes India's gay revolution and delves into history, economics and sociology to try and understand how the nation that gave the world the Kama sutra could have become a closed, repressed society with a shockingly high incidence of rape and violence against women, the dark underside to the greater sexual freedom that men and women in our cities have begun to enjoy today.
