Yes, its sad to see. My father got made fun of back in the 1960s, which is why he gave up his greencard .... "Why are Indians starving? Why dont they eat the holy cows off the street?"

The answer is simple. The oldest Hindu scripture, the RgVeda states that God is the loving consciousness within all living creatures, immanent and transcendent. People call Him or Her by diffent names.
Thats why most Hindus prefer to be vegetarian, and particularly consider cows as sacred, because they give us milk, and we cherish maternal feelings for them ... I would rather not eat my Mommy....Karma reincarnation and all that jazz.

That said, most of us are very open minded.... my Dad taught me to do as the Romans do... I used to enjoy my BigMacs... until my cholesterol levels went up.

Also, one of the gravest humanitarian crises in modern history, leading to the deaths of an estimated three million people and further affecting millions through forced starvatjon of native Indians by barbaric butcheristic Britisher invaders

Insighttful comments, thank you.

Yes, most Hindus (80% of the Indian population) are orthodox and family oriented (like Catholics). Incidentally, see
https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FHindu-C...: This autobiography traces Francis X. Clooney's intellectual and spiritual journey from middle-class American Catholicism to a lifelong study of Hinduism. It explains how he came to fashion comparative theology as a way of learning interreligiously that is boldly intellectual and deeply personal and practical, lived out in intersections of his roles as theologian and scholar of Hinduism, as professor and Catholic priest, and over the tumultuous decades from the 1960s until now, in his role as Parkman Professor of Divinity, Harvard University.

I see many Indian-American weddings happening, from a quick youtube lookup.

BTW, I love Somerville, Boston, NorthEnd, and surroundings.... guessing ftom your nick that you are from there. Spent 19y there before moving to warmer California for the weather and family.

As for cheese, I still love all the stuff that comes out of Wisconsin.

My Daddy came to the US from India in 1963 onboard the QueenMary, for his Masters, worked at NASA and stuff before giving up his GreenCard due to racism. He thinks he found the BigFoot in the mountains of Oregon, and made many Super8mm movies of Disneyland n such that we are trying fo digitize to utubez

Long Story short, my sister and I came here to UGA+GATech and have found Americans wonderfully creative and accepting (only a couple of racist events in my 25 years here ... [came to somve tge Y2KProblem], one from a rude farmer at Bostons HayMarket after 9/11 with my newly married (now-ex) wife.

Even after that unfortunate incident, a Texan colleague offered to beat up saud farmer with his motorcycle buddies.I of course declined, but digested the event eith a couple of beers. A felloe immigrant haymarketer told .me to ignore the uneducated racist basturd.

The Hands that built America by U2 is nice (from the
Gangs of New York).

Peace, Live Long and Prosper as Mr Spock might say (Leonard Nimoy grew up in MA too).

By Colonialist invasions, I mean stuff like this brutal Goa inquisition where tge so called Christian saint but actually a brutal monsyer cut off Native Hindus hands off for not converting to Christianity. WTF.
https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.m.wikipedia.org%2Fwik...

Just like the barbaric invadic Muslim Empetor who built the Taj fucking Mahal for his dead empress using Hindu laborers and then cyt their hands off and blinded them so they would nit build another monument like it again.

Double WTF. I would be wary of invading barbaricc foreigners given this invasionist colonialist crap.

Insightful comment. Speaking as a proud American of Indian (Asian) origin, of 25 years [ GeorgiaTech + ex MIT startups ]

I agree and would like to add that India is currently overcoming its hangover of British invasionist colonialism and failed Islamic conquests (similar to the Spanish inquisition).

But by and large, India is pretty tourist + investor/startup friendly, especially Bengaluru, the Silicon Valley of India. Goa, etc ... e.g.

Also, I am more alarmed at the open air drug use & violent crime rates in the US : as compared to India with 1/9th the population density (3x landmass containing 0.3 of the population). :/
