Chetan Bhagat explores the issues of marriage in India. It is a clash of what I would think "New India" is and "Old India". Just like it says on the back, boy and girl meet, fall in love, now have to convince their parents of their love. I found this story interesting because it explores the idea of arranged marriage while demonstrating some of Indian wedding culture. The kids want to get married, but have to convince their parents they are right for each other, despite their cultural differences. There are a lot of cultural differences, even language, between them. One family being from north India, the other being from South India. 2 States explores the differences and the troubles the couple must go through to make their parents understand and maybe even accept the differences. The writing style was a very easy read, as most of it was conversation. It is not very poetic, or alluring, but Bhagat does a good job telling the story. I wish I could have given it 3.5 stars. I feel it is more than a 3, but less than a 4. I tend to rank things 4 when I would read them again. I don't think I would read this again.
