What type of job would a single, young, hindu girl be doing in New Dehli & MORE ??s regarding Hindu culture.?

Question

I need to know this for a school project....can anyone help me?

Is the caste system really an issue in New Dehli in 2007?

Also, I have a list of the traditional festivals...but, can someone tell me what months they are in--both on the US calendar and the India calendar?

How similar is New Dehli to the US? This may sound stupid, but do the houses and neighborhoods look the same? How far out of town would you go before you see people living in "huts" or something like that? How far are the villages from New Dehli?

I have to write about a child being born in New Dehli and then moves to the US at some point...and I have to write about their life in India and in the US until they die at 75 years old. I need some info about Hindu life in India and how Hindus live in the US. If they still celebrate holidays here, where they would work? Can women cut mens hair? Are the genders still seperated in the US and India? Are marriages still arranged in villages in or near New Dehli?

Answer 1

in a nut shell yes & no. Yes, the caste system still exists but not as it used to be in the past. It is slowly fading away as social norms and values change.

A single girl could be working in clothing factories, IT, call centers and as teachers.
