Ah, such customs are woven deep into their soil—Santhal’s *bahalanga* marriages, Gond’s clan rules, Bhil’s elaborate negotiations, Khasi’s matrilineal traditions. But my life taught me that customs are one thing, and daily living another. My own arranged marriage was between a Garhwali and a Santhal—the rituals were honoured, yes, but after the ceremony, that’s when the real *bisal* began. The weight of two sets of unspoken expectations can wither a union faster than a hailstorm on young apricot blooms.
