What does love look like in 2026 India? Here’s what Delhi had to say

Ahead of Valentine’s Day, we at Newslaundry wanted to explore something that rarely makes the headlines – love. We went to one of Delhi’s favourite spots to ask people what love means to them, if it is tough to find, and how hard it is to sustain.

20-year-old Avishi said, “Love to me is the security of being taken care of, not having the need for other people’s validation – that’s what love means to me.”

With Hindutva groups policing interfaith couples and the persistent shadow of ‘honour’ killings in intercaste marriages, it seems tough to love in India.
