Writing in this blog has made me realize that I am much more proud of my culture than I thought I was. I love being Indian and it truly makes me happy to write about it.
Although each post may not have been the most positive, I think India is an amazing country. Of course, there are some things that they can work on, but what country doesn't have room for improvement?
I was able to relive my experiences and memories by sharing them on this blog.
I would like to end this blog by saying that every culture needs to be appreciated. We shouldn't judge people based on stereotypes or how they look. Or what we "think" they are like.
I remember one December, my parents went to clean my old church. It was only two minutes away from house, so it wouldn't be of any inconvenience to us. My parents got there and there were some real nasty words spray painted on the door. Rude words about Indians. The police came and investigated this, but we never found out who did it. But who decides to graffiti the door of a church? Especially with horrible words. And about a specific race. Whoever did this obviously don't know what we are like. They've probably just seen us outside the church, wearing our Indian clothes and decided to judge us. Everyone was really upset and offended. I'm not just saying this because I'm Indian. This would be a horrible thing to do to any race.
I'm sure it is going to take a long time, but there needs to be a day where all countries are united. Everyone should feel like they belong in America. No one should be judged on the color of their skin, their culture or the religion they practice.
