From my understanding, that's a fairly rare occurance, and while it may be true for one part, it's not true for all. What I've noticed (although I've never been to India, so this may be completely off) is that they are very physically conservative before marriage (usually the first kiss is on the wedding day), but romance is still highly regarded as it is in many cultures. If this is wrong, please let me know, because I'm very interested in it as well :)
