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. |

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. |
