Does it lead to loss of cultural identity or is it a natural process ?
Re: Culture Adaptation
It depends. Immigrants contribute a lot to culture. The culture of the subcontinent is a result of more than 2 millennium of amalgamation and acceptance. So it is a part of a natural process. After partition both india and pakistan started evolving a little differently from a common culture which is distinct but still related enough to imply a common cultural inheritance. Loss of culture IMO is when some people choose to other cultures for acceptance and turn their back on what they perceive is an inferior cultural identity. I have seen members on this forum discuss how Pakistan is a part of central asia culturally instead of identifying with the subcontinent.

Even what Kinzz is saying regarding adaption is very difficult, praying to one god through out life and then switching to another without knowing complex set of rituals is very difficult :)

one can easily change the track, if he / she doesn't have required attachment with culture or religion. When you leave religion, you may face guilt, which is not the case with culture
