Re: Indian or Pakistani?
people should be proud of their own origin and try their best to improve things in the society or culture, they were born into.
national identity has a great power. and one should not undermine it.
being of parents from south asia but being born in or brought up in the US, does deserve a combined national identity background.
thus, identifying oneself as an American-Indian or Pakistani-American is fine. unless, each person comes up with their own logic behind their identities and how they would like to be seen.
