I don&#x27;t know if you intended it this way, but you seem to be portraying Indian culture as just American culture s&#x2F;Jesus&#x2F;ganpati&#x2F; s&#x2F;baseball&#x2F;cricket&#x2F; etc. These things, while accurate, barely scratch the surface.<p>It really is different here, and not just the food. E.g., asking about family is routine (in a manner uncommon in the US), and I intuitively grasp certain social mixing&#x2F;separation that is just different from the US.<p>From what I&#x27;ve observed, these gaps are vastly larger (read: earth&#x2F;jupiter vs earth&#x2F;moon) than the gap between various western subcultures.
