Once upon a time, men and women entered marriage with very clear policies regarding the division of labour: he would go to work and "bring home the bacon," while she would stay at home and cook, clean, and raise the children. Things aren't the same as they used to be. Modern Indian romance, intimacies, and marriages are far more complicated than assessments and reality television shows portray.In India, arranged marriages are an unique and complex process. People seek a 'soulmate' with whom they can spend the rest of their lives, but they also have specific expectations of the potential bride or groom. There is a strong narrative about finding love, compatibility, and connection, but what stands out is a real intent to replicate class identities beneath all of this. In a country that depends on a spending population, "middle class" is a necessary armour, a shared language, a value system, and, more importantly, a way of life. Life may be unjust, irritating, and disarmingly disappointing on most days. Being middle class, on the other hand, creates character in a culture obsessed with the need to be a part of the rat race. Marriage also places the onus of making sacrifices, concessions, and making the marriage work on the couple.This tale illuminates the unseen and underappreciated aspects of an Indian arranged marriage, the life of a middle-class wife and husband and their shared responsibilities as they navigate through life. Immense amount of desi tadka awaiting your way.*I don't own the illustration on the poster.*…

A "Kasō-kei senki" story. However, battle scenes are casual and loose. I think it will be an HOI-style comedy piece that prioritizes strategy and political turns. If you're okay with that please do! The content is almost entirely based on the title. The world is being tested (*means the world is being tested by Japan).PS: I did not write Time Slip Reiwa Japan (original title: タイムスリップ令和ジャパン), this is a fan translation of the fic made by ◆QgkJwfXtqk.("Kasō-kei senki" (火葬戦記) is a Japanese term for fictional war stories with crazy premises and storylines. IMO, think of ASB scenarios.)Original release year: 2019…
