1.) In the book Behind the Beautiful Forevers, there are a series of many murders that are disclosed by the police inaccurately. In your opinion, do you feel that the criminal justice and legal systems are lawfully and honestly done? Why or why not?
2.) Throughout the book Behind the Beautiful Forevers, political advertisements state that there is a “New India” that helps women have a more independent and significant voice. Have you heard of any ads similar to this, and if so, how do you feel about women being less dependent, and more independent.
3.) For many cultures, arranged marriage is both a tradition and a requirement for young people, especially for the women. In your society, do you see this play a consistent role in many young adults’ lives? How do you feel about this tradition?
4.) In the book Behind the Beautiful Forevers, there seems to be a lot of tension between Hindus and Muslims. Do you feel this sort of tension in your culture, your city, your neighborhood, or even yourself? Give an example of why or why not.
5.) A common trend in the book Behind the Beautiful Forevers was that what kind of job you had did not matter, as long as you had a job. Within your society, would you say that this same way of thinking applies? Do you currently have a job? If so, what kind of work do you do, and do you enjoy it? If you do not have a job, why not, and are you happy without one?
