<div class="entry-content"><p>I always had these mixed feelings about people who belong to the Indian subcontinent but not India: Are they us?</p>
<p>Are we, as Indians, different from the Indian kids born and raised in U.S.? Or are we any different from the Singaporean Indians who were born and raised here?</p>
<p>However hard I tried to make them distant and <i>not</i> us, it just kept rising up that they are us -atleast with regards to common heritage. And regardless of whether you possess a citizenship to prove your heritage, it is already in you. You dont need a plastic card to prove it.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> <a href="http://silenteloquence.suryaonline.org/2005/07/28/what-it-means-to-be-an-indian/">Surya has an entry</a> with more thoughts from her!</p>
