Money talks it can't talk and it can't walk, In 1946 India was partitioned, everyone was from the Indian sub continent. Lord Mountbatten allowed Jinna to form Pakistan as an appeasment to the Moslems, so that makes them all from 'India' the only difference being their 'religion', so you cannot blame it on the Indians, Kash, the cowboys are to blame for so called arranged marriages.
