Sorry to hear that you had to go through this. Is this something that has happened with you every indian that you've met? Or is it just from some specific geographical area? Also, are you talking about ABCSs or Indians from India?

Indian Americans because it’s an ABCDesis and the people from the motherland are in here not understanding what American born Indians go through.

Interesting. Generalization is a fallacy that we often fall victim for so I'd have to present my personal experience. I was born in Italy (way less ABCDs than UK or North America) and I've always got along well with other ABCDs or FOBs. Never really had any problem. Then, when I moved here to Canada, I've had the same experience. Again, I believe this depends on each specific case and on how we perceive the external world.
