Summary
Set in 1950's India, Mrs. Rupa Mehra attempts to find a 'suitable' husband for her daughter. Potential suitors are appraised by members of the whole family for their merits and respectability. With Lata studying English at Brahmpur University, however, there lurks the possibility that she will fall in love with someone of her own choice whom her mother may not approve. Lata's story is recalled along with those of friends and relatives against the backdrop of India's first General Election
