How can unmarried couples travel together in India without having to face moral policing?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Our culture is very partial towards moral policing. We know what our neighbors should do but forget what we should do. Pratice what you preach is only for the wise men, you see...
So, if you go against societal norms and you are caught be prepared for a backlash.
Now, you can be unapologetic about this backlash that you might face (assuming the couple is of a legal age) and be unbothered by it. And if the moral policing bothers you, then avoid crossing that boundary and stay within the limits of what society prescribes.

All the best!

Why do hotels in India disallow unmarried couples? A few months ago, I was travelling with my girlfriend (who was my colleague then, we weren't dating then) on a work trip and suddenly, we received a knock on the door at night asking us to vacate the room in Delhi. It was 2 am and we were sleeping on different beds. There was a partition in the room, yet we were asked to pack and leave because some guest had complained. In the middle of the night no one was willing to offer us a room. It was an odd hour so at 4.30 am, I finally told the manager to let my GF hire a room as we had nowhere to go. I waited in the reception area. Isn't it unsafe to take the booking and then ask us to vacate later? Why is India so rude to unmarried couples? A boy and a girl could also be friends sharing a room to save money!
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Each hotel use discretion to allow or disallow an unmarried couple from staying in their premises. There could be various reasons which may include activities which are outside of the law. Now, to what has happened to you is very inconsiderate. My question to you is: while booking, did you look at the hotel policies? If it says: unmarried couples allowed, then whatever has happened can be challenged and you can possibly demand a refund for unfair treatment. If it disallows unmarried couples and they have accommodated you, even then they are in the wrong for going against their own policies and then inconveniencing you.
So, clarity on this will give you an idea as to what exactly happened.
I don't know if India is being rude to unmarried couples as each person will view it through their lens and come to a conclusion as to whether it's right or wrong. Always check the hotel policies before booking.

All the best!

I've completed my graduation (B.Sc) from Delhi University, however I've come to realise that my interest lies someplace else, I hold a passion and wish to persue masters in Psychology and be a clinical psychologist down the line, what should be my next steps? Am I eligible for a master's program in Psychology even though my undergrad is in Science? I'm really troubled and cannot find a definitive answer, Willing to put in the work to crack any exam to get into a master's program, but cannot afford private colleges, Ideally, I would like to put in the work, clear and entrance examination, get into a master's programmes, maintain a great score throughout my masters and be eligible to move to some western nation to do my PhD or psy.D, whatever is applicable, It so happens that I do not see a way forward, any guidance is very much appreciated and needed. I would like to hear your thoughts on this, thank you.
Ans: Hello Aaryan,

First of all, thank you for reaching out to us. To answer your question, I can tell you that as an aspiring clinical psychologist, your B.Sc. background does not disqualify you from pursuing a Master's in Psychology, but you may need to meet specific prerequisites, such as having some foundational coursework in psychology.

Many Western universities, such as those in the US, UK, or Europe, offer postgraduate programs in Psychology with a clinical focus. You will likely need to prepare for exams like the GRE (for the US) or other relevant entrance tests depending on the country. Focus on excelling in the required exams, and explore scholarships or government-funded options to make your education more affordable. After completing your Master's, you'll be well-positioned to pursue a PhD or Psy.D. in clinical psychology if you wish to continue your studies abroad.
