Re: Identity - Nationality
Interesting Roman...i've never lived in Britain so most of what I know is just what I've read here...I've heard quite the opposite going on in britain. While immigration of desis to Britain may have been going on much longer than immigration to the States, I've heard Pakis in the UK are still very much holding on to their roots and haven't been as successful as assimilating into the mainstream culture as much as the American Pakis have...
I think it just depends where you go. Places with a lot of Pakistanis in one area are more likely to keep their culture alive and hold on to their traditions, whereas those who live in areas with a very small Pakistani/desi population, are more likely to adopt their own culture..it's the strength in numbers thing...
