When ppl are in a foreign country, they have extreme identity crisis. The very ppl who were uber-liberal in india develop uber strong cultural affinity. That is why u have so many crazy indians in US. From my observations, ppl in india are more liberal (atleast from my economic group) than ppl in US.
At first, looking at the desis here i thought these guys live in 60's(indian 60's/70's). Since they have lost touch with indian culture, they develop uber indianness. You should spend some time with ABCD parents, they are all kookoos! Its like going back in time machine!
ABCD parents ARE MORE CONSERVATIVE than just immigrated Indian Parents. All ABCD parents live in that 60's 70's shell or whatever time period they came from. It is one of the most funniest things to watch. All indians act exactly in accordance to the time period they came to US, and they impose those very same values on their children. So, when u look at desis here, u r watching live history!
Dude! I was so going to ask you if you thought Indians were more conservative in America in that PM, but I forgot.
Thanks for answering my question.

Yeah, I was also under the impression that Indians are more liberal in Delhi, Mumbai and even Allahabad (UP)! Allahabad boys are so friendly, and boys over here look like they're about to strangle you.
