Why do Indian-Americans hate India and Indian culture?

As an Indian-American blogger, I've observed a certain level of disdain towards India and Indian culture from some within our community. There seem to be a few factors contributing to this mindset, such as a desire to distance oneself from traditions in order to assimilate into American society. Additionally, negative stereotypes and misconceptions about India can also play a role in fostering this animosity. However, it is important to recognize that not all Indian-Americans feel this way, and many of us take immense pride in our heritage. Ultimately, having a healthy understanding and appreciation for both cultures is key to forming a balanced identity.
