Re: Why do desis that grew up in Pakistan and India…
I live with 3 ABCD’s they are my kids. I have dozens of ABCD nieces and nephews. I interact with hundreds of ABCD kids because I have hundreds of desi friends. Based on my personal experience. These ABCD do not think that desies back home are paindo because they do not even have that concept about pind as people living there have. The ABCD’s are cool they do not have any negative or positive views about personal traits of desies in desh.These ABCD’s do not judge people of desh. I have never ever heard them bashing desies of desh. They have lots of grievances against FOB’s but not people of desh. On the contrary they think that the people from desh are in havens. Their perception is based on the short visits they get to have during summer. Everybody can speak fluent desi language of that part of the world. They can get halal burgers from McDonald’s, halal KFC , halal Pizza Hut . The shadies they attend over their are so cool and colorful. These ABCD’s actually wonder what more do you want from life ?
These ABCD’s are treated as royalty by their desi hosts as they are guest out there. Everybody is so impressed with them and thinks high of them.I think this treatment of ABCD’s is not liked by those who observe all this from a distance or they do not get this same treatment because they are ‘Ghar key Murghy Dall Barabur’ . Man it is not fault of these ABCD’s if they get this royal treatment , they did no ask for it. Actually when they come back to USA they miss all that and cannot wait to go back to desh to have taste of that haven called desh.
