I have. In some areas, they still practice arranged marriages, whereas in others, it works a lot more like in western countries.
India is a big, diverse country, and almost all of it has gone through substantial changes in the last few decades WRT social structure. The caste system has gone from “basically universal” to “a strong influence in decisions” to “barely recognizable in significant parts of the country.” Yes, it still exists in some form in many areas, but it also is effectively dead in many others.
