Bhangra Late Post

My article was about how bhangra (traditional Indian folk dance) combines American and Indian culture. Having background knowledge of this I can find a contrary view very easily and understandable. I believe that the contrary comes from a minority of people with Indian background and I am just one of the minority that truly believes it.

As I understand it, the question posed is about Indian culture is starting to take in American culture with it. The typical outlook is just because you have American hip-hop songs or hip-hop clothing you are importing the American culture. From my point of view, people now are considering American and Indian culture as one, which is totally wrong. There are some ways you can act around others and some ways you can’t. For example, many Indian people start speaking their certain language around people of other decent. I think that is very rude and one of many things that I find wrong with how certain Indians act.

This person obviously thinks American culture is mixing in well with Indian culture. I don’t see many American people at these bhangra shows, or any Indian shows to be honest. Maybe you can spot a few here and there. There is also the tendency of Indian people only hanging out with other Indian people. Many people are involved in these culture shows and events. If they say these shows or meshing with American culture than how come they don’t take that when the show is over. They only hang out with people of their own culture because they can talk about thing they are only comfortable with.

All in all, just because you are putting American songs or clothing doesn’t mean you are taking in American culture. If this were true then you would see a major difference from many Indian people not in their appearance but in the way they act.
