By Economic Times - 10 months ago
Family ties have always been far more narrow in the west, with even immediate siblings becoming distant within a generation and cousins being considered 'remote' enough to make marriages between them socially and legally acceptable. Now some younger, urban Indians influenced by western mores are inclined to hew to that less inclusive definition of 'family', unwilling to accept the linkages that people at least up to my generation regarded as perfectly natural.
