NEW DELHI, INDIA, February 5, 2003: Apart from nostalgia and money to augment foreign exchange reserves, what is a major involvement with India and her nonresident Indians (NRIs)? The NRIs search for brides and bridegrooms assisted by parents in India and overseas is a top priority. There is an “A list” in India for prospective spouses, with NRIs topping the list, multinational executives, IAS and other central service officers, and then the others, with academics near the bottom. For most parents and their daughters, the well-off overseas boy of Indian origin tops the preferences.
