It goes both ways, there are every sort of people around the world, the good ones and the bad ones and being sarcastic or judgmental about this fact just makes one shallow.

Agreed.

It depends what kind of religious education, but I might concede that point but not about culture. I know many many families whose parents talk to their kids in english; heck, my cousins can now understand some urdu but they were never taught here by any of the parents.

I live in Chicago where there is a HUGE population of desies and I only know of a few families where they didnt teach their kids Urdu…they taught them everything else…just not the language. Meaning, they are respectful, educated, cook, clean, are just as desi as you are, etc etc etc. They just dont speak Urdu.

Majority of the families here DO actually teach their children Urdu/Punjabi.
