April 2023 Archive – Fresh Takes on Indian Culture, Food & Life
Hey there! If you’re curious about what Info School India shared in April 2023, you’re in the right spot. That month we posted a mix of stories that dig into identity, cravings, everyday hurdles, and the big‑picture differences between living in India and the United States.
Cultural Insights & Identity
One of the standout pieces asked a tough question: why do some Indian‑Americans seem to dislike India and its culture? The article highlighted three main reasons – the urge to fit in, lingering stereotypes, and a desire to distance from traditions. It reminded us that the community isn’t monolithic; many Indian‑Americans are proud of their roots and balance both worlds.
We also tackled a fun, light‑hearted query about whether India is a Native American name. The answer clarified that “India” comes from the Latin name for the Indus River and was popularized during British rule, while native names like Bharat and Hindustan still thrive.
Another post compared life in India to life in the US, pointing out factors like population size, infrastructure gaps, and income disparity that make daily life in India feel tougher for many. On the flip side, we looked at how Indian students experience the US – juggling high costs and cultural shocks, yet gaining access to top universities and job markets.
Food, Lifestyle & Daily Challenges
Food lovers got plenty to chew on. We explored the most popular chips and crisps across India, revealing regional favorites that dominate snack aisles. If you’ve ever wondered whether Mexicans enjoy Indian cuisine, we shared that many do – dishes like tikka masala and samosas have found a home in Mexican kitchens, often with a local twist.
For the brave palate, we invited readers to name the worst Indian food product they’ve tasted. The crowd‑sourced answers ranged from overly salty snacks to oddly flavored sweets, sparking a lively debate about taste versus tradition.
Beyond bite‑size topics, we highlighted the day‑to‑day problems Indians face: poor infrastructure, unemployment, gender inequality, and pollution. While the government rolls out schemes, the article argued that real change needs joint effort from citizens and officials alike.
All these stories together paint a vivid picture of what mattered to our readers in April 2023 – identity, food, and the everyday grind. Whether you’re an Indian‑American navigating two cultures, a snack hunter chasing the next crunchy hit, or someone comparing life on both sides of the Pacific, there’s something here for you.

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.
