Jeff: It depends on the woman. Here is the reality of your situation: Indians are definitely tied to their culture. As with most ultra-nationalistic groups, Indians tend to be careful to ‘preserve’ their ethnicity. FYI, Indian is the larger group, there is a bewildering mixture of ethnicities defined by region, language and customs. In any case, the question for your girfriend is this: will she ride with you into the sunset without her parents’ permission? If the answer is in the affirmative, then the issue of her Indian culture becomes almost moot. The trick, then, will be to respect her parents’ wishes no matter what but not succumb to their disapproval. Then, again, her parents might not disapprove of you; you might well be onto acceptance, however partial.
