21st century India is a culture on fast forward, where a third of people are under 35. These men and women grew up with the Internet, smartphones and social media. But when it comes to love, thousands of years of tradition cannot easily be set aside. 'The Newlyweds' is a portrait of India through the stories of three young couples. The lesbian couple forced to flee. The Hindu woman and Muslim man who escape harassment by a violent mob. And the couple from different castes who know the terrible risks of marriage. Written with great insight and humanity, Mansi Choksi examines the true cost of modern love in an ancient culture.
