Our Cover

Indian brides and bridegrooms and weddings with full Hindu rites are amo n g the most glamorous of Fiji “happenings” as evidenced by the attractive couple on our cover—Vimal Sharma, a Suva journalist with the Hindi newspaper Shanti Dut, of which his father, Mr G. D.

Sharma, is editor, and his bride, Manjula Maharaj, of Suva.

Vimal’s outfit was ordered speci ally from India. Their marriage was some time ago but the picture is still worth looking at.

The outlook of modern Indian youth is changing, particularly where marriage customs are con cerned. PIM examines this on page 9.
