Go To


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character from India is locked into all the expectations of his/her social class.
2	* '''Straight''': [[UptownGirl Anjali]] and Bhulwa's parents [[ParentalMarriageVeto forbid them to marry]] because of their differing castes.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Anjali and Bhulwa are not permitted to even ''speak'' to one another.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Anjali and Bhulwa do end up marrying each other, but they face some difficulties and objections from their parents.
5	* '''Justified''': Although less prevalent now, it's kind of difficult to change traditions and customs that have been in place for thousands of years.
6	* '''Inverted''': Anjali and Bhulwa are encouraged (or even [[ArrangedMarriage ''required'']]) to marry each other because of their differing castes.
7	* '''Subverted''': Anjali introduces Bhulwa to her parents, and they seem OK with him.
8	* '''Double Subverted''': Only to ''conveniently'' inform her that she's betrothed to another man and that the [[SadBollywoodWedding wedding]] is first thing tomorrow morning as soon as Bhulwa's out the door.
9	* '''Parodied''': ???
10	* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
11	* '''Averted''': Different social classes (and sub-classes) are allowed to mix, mingle, and marry as they please.
12	* '''Enforced''': TruthInTelevision, RuleOfDrama.
13	* '''Lampshaded''': "I can't believe we have to deal with this old system in this day and age to live together !"
14	* '''Invoked''': Anjali (who comes from a rich Brahmin family) meets and [[StarcrossedLovers falls in love with]] Bhulwa (from a poor, working-class family).
15	* '''Exploited''': ???
16	* '''Defied''': Anjali and Bhulwa carry on a SecretRelationship, or move someplace (such as America) where they can get married regardless of their stations in life in their homeland.
17	* '''Discussed''': ???
18	* '''Conversed''': ???
19	* '''Deconstructed''': Someone is going to be locked into expectations regarding who to marry and what career path to take, regardless of what he/she actually wants. Also, just because someone is born into a family that does XYZ profession doesn't necessarily mean he/she is suited for that job. It's a conflict between tradition and modernism, between individualism and collectivism.
20	* '''Reconstructed''': Less emphasis is placed on social class and family than talents. There is more social mobility as a result.
