As the process of Americanization deepens, second generation NRIs,
sometimes called ABCDs-American Born Confused Desis, should be viewed
as Americans and not as Indians and certainly not as Hindus.
With little expectations from them one can avoid being greatly
disappointed. "One" means their parents and people of India in
general. Most parents, mostly, are not in a position to teach their
kids anything since they have no/little knowledge or interest, in most
cases both. So categorising the second generation NRIs as Americans
works in everybody's interest.
Also all the temples built in US will go waste as these second
generation youth gradually (or swiftly) drift away which is already
happening. It is due to the constant flux of new Indian immigrants
these temples and culture are surviving for now. Point to note.
