Yes. I can tell you for sure that love and love making were and is part of our culture. If it wasn't then how come we are so populated and threatening china tow in the position of most populated country in the world.
Read any story about old kings and any famous old days heros ,they all enjoyed their love life with n number of wives and unaccounted number of girlfriends.
It is only todays Indian generation portraying false face of it as if they don't like love and love making. Love is the only thing that keeps this world peaceful.
So, make it a point to make love with your wife or girlfriend today! Today's love making should their day of this year!

Making love has nothing to do with Valentine, who was supposedly kind to birds, animals and people. This is a new concept floated by marketers and mediamen to generate business (of Rs.12,000 crores) with no consideration for the effect on people and society. People are being fooled and the state of intelligence of many people seems to be so low that they cannot see through this. The effect of this is going to destabilize peoples emotional state and destroy society. Whether this is good or bad, time will tell. Like the Dalai Lama is supposed to have said that the untamed mind causes major damage. Hope better sense prevails.

hardcore love making is a part of our culture with or w/o Love. I don't think the Kings even remembered the names of all the women they made love to. Men simply considered it their Birthright to hump as many women he encountered this did change with the Brits rule and also Independence but the damage was already done no wonder we are a very large population. Chinese too have the largest population for the same reason their men had tons of concubines.
This is a Western concept. They keep one day each for Father, Mother and so called Valentine day. Our culture is such that we love our parents and other close relations including spouse/lover throughoout the year. The present concept of Valentine day is strictly commercial as it involves exchange of gifts and unnecessary show off. This concept has mainly to do with the lust and not true love.

In reality there is no such ting as Father, Mother and so called Valentine day. Mothers day was a day granted to laborers and servants who worked far away from home where their mothers lived (Fathers also used to travel to work and would not return home for months while mothers stayed at home). A day was granted (in Victorian Brittan) mostly one Sunday in a month to go home to mother and say a prayer in the local church where Mother prayed and return back by Monday morning for the shift. This day was called mothers day or mothering Sunday as it is still called. On this day off the sons and daughters handed their earning to their mother to look after the expenses of the family. Mothering day always fall on Sunday. There is nothing Known as fathering Sunday and fathers day it is an off spring that started in the 70s. Both these days have changed their original concept and has become a day to give your parents a relief at least for the day children of the family are supposed to take on the days task and let the parents rest. In the 70s again the commercial side also tried to bring in Grandparents day (Grand fathers day and Grand mothers day) but this failed. Nothing appeared in shops after that first year.It was a total failure. St valentines day also has nothing to do with love and loving any one it is a martyrs day a day of feast. And the st valentine of Rome is remembers, Nothing else. Read further here.
recent news in hyd news paper was that parents of a girl of inter 2nd year and merit student with religious values are ashamed of their daughter and dont like to live anymore after seeing dirty messages and material in her mobile. Is this what todays educated generation giving their parents ??? To hell with valentine day...
Why should we Indians bother to know who is Valentine? This shows just slavery menatllity. If west people vary chaddis, our people follow same. If they say 'Oh Yaa' Indians also say so with same style. If they tie money purse near belt near belt, our people also do ditto... What a western following? Even in this global multi-national era, how many foreigners are atleast interested (if not celebrate) to know our centiments like Raksha Bandhan, Guru poornuma etc. A country should have its own identity of culture and patrioism, self-respect and originality.
donno why people in India say Valentine's day is against our culture... What is Culture? Look at Bollywood movies, woww how intimate scenes they make. Even Hollywood got thunderstruck with our Bollywood movies.

There is nothing wrong at all with 2 ppl in love sharing a valentine day in private. They can celebrate it on 14 feb or make every single day of their lives a Valentine Day in honor of their love and make each other happy. The Problem is when Valentine affection is displayed in public to gain bragging rights or compete in friend's circles on gifts and romance etc. Then the intimacy is not for each other, its merely an endorsement for others to top it. And in the process many young minds get corrupted as they feel obligated to seek out thrills of dare and bare and become the talk of the town/school etc.
