![[Comedy video] The new dating app for brown people: it's called Jatinder](https://sc0.blr1.digitaloceanspaces.com/large/691110-8dfa5dc5-97ec-4361-a070-188192599072.jpg)
In recent months, young urban Indians have been looking for love on Tinder, the online dating app that simplifies one’s potential dates to the essential qualifications: profile photos and physical distance.
As Singhda Poonam wrote on Scroll in September, "2014 will go down in history as the year we embraced Tinder. Everyone you meet in Delhi seems to be on Tinder and have an opinion about it. Every day, someone tells you about the blog 50 Dates in Delhi, where an anonymous woman records her dates with Delhi men, several of them off Tinder. Big debates are taking place: more girls or guys on Tinder? Is Tinder the best thing to have happened to girls looking for fun? Is this the dawn of the hookup culture in India? The end of Indian pretensions about chastity?"
