I would like to start off by saying that every south Asian is different in his or her own way. Sometimes, I find some brown people excelling in their studies, others in spreading their own values and others following their religious ideals or values. Plenty of people are simply following the holy book which gives them the key to relinquishing their real-life expectations, while others exercise their religion up to a whole new level.

We sometimes try to adapt to the Western ordeal on life, but give up our identity in the process. I wouldn't say we completely denounce the other races, but we do culturally assimilate ourselves with simply a veil of trust and simplicity. Do we forget who we are in the process? Yes and no. While some teenage brown kids struggle to adapt to the mainstream world, our real values still stay intact within our corporeal and benevolent mind and beating heart. I love how we keep our identity of our families and our religion intact compared to other societies which lose them over time.

There are many kinds of brown people out there on this planet. As far as I know, there are Muslims, Hindus and much more. Muslims keep their identity intact for most of the times and faith for enforced secular views with a touch on a feministic and balanced society. The religion is so expansive and natural that sometimes people forget that it even exists. Now as I get serious here, people follow the holy book, abiding by mostly the rules of others and their values. Although society can get shaky at times, people do tend to keep the reality of their religion intact. In many ways, the incongruity followed by justice in Islamic culture and deviance in a Hindu related society is what makes them falsely apart.

I'm not saying that every religion is right for each wrong. Although this might sound true, the wrong is sometimes given into much consideration and thought. It is correct to accept the far reality of the truth with more forgiveness than needed. As much as I like to say that people sometimes deviate from the norms in a Western world, we still hang back to the beauties and simplicity of our background and ethnicity.

No matter how different everyone can seem in the 21st century, nurture and love is always important in the big scheme of things. Our parents teach us so many things that do have an impact on us. We cherish those around us because we want to. I find it so lovely to see how we can survive when we are hit with difficult times. It seems so difficult to get it anywhere else. I sincerely feel that we should all love our religion and our background.
