I’m sure some are already aware of this, but please do not assume that all Indian families are like TJ’s. Wiping a pan with a cloth that was previously used for wiping cow dung is considered filthy, disgusting, and unhygienic by all Hindus I know including my own family. Don’t get me wrong, there are some families in specific castes who may do this because they’re still living in the fourth century, but the majority definitely, definitely don’t. One of my old coworkers would always make fun of India and asked me if I drink cow urine. I was so offended by this and furious with him for asking me such a disrespectful question, but after watching this episode and the awful way they represent India, I realized he asked because he must’ve been watching something similar. Seriously, please don’t assume that all or even any Indians commit practices like this 🤦♀️
Oh oh question!!! I saw the wedding and was wondering; is the wedding that TJ and Kimberly had typical? Was it more of a lower, middle, or upper class wedding?
Yes, the wedding was actually accurate. There are some castes that have beautiful weddings like theirs that last for literal days and nights. Meanwhile there are other castes who have weddings that only last five minutes. Although class can certainly affect how extravagant the wedding is, the rituals and length of the wedding is definitely more of a caste thing than a class thing.
