So we have to talk about #IndianMatchmaking. I was pleasantly surprised - it had very relatable characters, situations and the show does a good job of giving us a sneak peek into each individual's psyche.

But it completely ignores the reality of arranged marriages. Let's gets some facts:

1/ 96% of Indian marriages are arranged within the same caste / community. There is some allusion to this in the show but its swept under the carpet. The caste system is in general a terrible idea.

2/ Dowry is very prevalent in arranged marriages.
