In fact the book I am here to review goes by the name “2 States – The Story Of My Marriage”. You may hate marriage or you may love it but you can’t ignore it. Questions about Salman Khan’s marriage pop up in every interview he gives. Feminists shout from rooftops of how marriage serves as a medium of oppression of women yet almost every girl dreams of getting her ‘sapnon ka rajkumar’. Even after Dr Chaddha (Vicky donor) gave his all in explaining how marriage was a ‘wastage of Sperm’, we find news of mass marriages with 70 odd couples marrying simultaneously. The super succesfull Jubilees of Rajshri Productions were no more than dramatized marriage videos. That old “maine apne dost ko zubaan di thi ki main dosti ko rishte mein badlunga” situation has been immortalized in various Bollywood dramas, the most popular one being DILWALE DULHANIA LE JAENGE(even the title signifies marriage). If you are a girl born in India, there is a very high possibility that that even before you were born your parents had decided who you would marry. But apart from religion, there is another obsession in India which cannot be said to be completely independent of their beloved ‘opium’. This surely stands true for the Indian people. “Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. The book details the quintessential Indian parents, the way marriages generally work in India and the two varied cultures beautifully it also goes on to show that far beyond religion and creed, love keeps fighting for its place.“Religion is the opium of the people” said Karl Marx. This is more because, in India, it is easy to fall in love but tricky to convert that love into a love marriage. The journey that the couple takes from being romantically involved to getting married is full of twists and turns.
But the persuasion takes a lot more than just a few words. They embark on a journey of convincing their parents for the marriage. But with the end of college and beginning of a career, the question of marriage does not stand far away. Miles apart in distance and custom, Krish and Ananya's love blossoms within the confines of their college walls. This is a story of a love affair between two IIM students hailing from two different states, Punjab and Tamil Nadu. This fun-filled love story that gets complicated when the question of marriage comes up, is a loose adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's own marriage. Description: Adapted as a hit film, this book is the fourth in Bhagat's list of novels and also the fourth one to be adapted as a movie.
