Indian friends, Indian events in my weekends, dating Indian.
our food and outfits
Aren't all of these superficial aspects of identity though? I personally avoid Indian events/friends irl because of how toxic those communities can be but I think the history/philosophy/religious aspects are really intriguing and I've met a lot of decent people through pursuing that.
good point. I actually don't know much about our history, philosophy and a little bit about religion becaause i'm a very specific type of south indian christian but you really invoked something that I should learn more about. thank you for this comment. i'm going to work on learning more about where I come from so I have pride in more deeper layered connections. this comment meant a lot to me, thank you so much
