question for the indians

[pycho]

Very often it is difficult to distinguish race due to the overlaying parameters and social construct base on geographic. The word Indian is descriptive which depicts origination of humans from INDIA, therefore you’re a Trini then you just have physical resemblance of an Indian but your NOT.

[Maserati]

anyhow why would you want to be associated with India or any of the countries in that area for that matter??

[Firewall]

Same way you have afro-trinidadians, you have indo triniddians, meaning that your ancestry can be traced back to either Africa or India.

other that that we all trinidadians, cause none of you all can say that you born in india

[Sumana.00]

why do we indians call ourselves "indians" even though if we go to India, we are recognised as non-indians? are we not trinis?

I've never had that issue, idk why ppl make a big of it, when you go NA, and England how Indians there don't recognise you as Indian, that's never been a problem with me

The thing is.. when you send them back to their mother land Africa/India.. the motherland wouldn't give a rats ass about them...
always talking it's my culture... what the hell anyone of them know about culture.. yuh damn born and grow up in Trinidad some ah them never even gone Tobago.. but they talking culture..

I am a Trinidadian and quite happy to be one..
because neither India nor Venezuela majorly affected my life in anyway..

[Zeriam]

i am human who lives in trinidad and eats roti and drink white oak.

foss! who is thattt

ah bess indian... hoe coastin how indian fail out wit dat!!

[blukish]

anyhow why would you want to be associated with India or any of the countries in that area for that matter??

says the one who was asked if he was from bangladesh...

[Team Loco]

So then we don't have an indian culture here. Chutney etc that we call indian culture is really part of trini culture? So far it seems "indian" in trinidad are a confused bunch

[Sumana.00]

You're neglecting Oddissi, Kathak, Bharat Natyam Dancing, Holi, The Music Lessons given @ Mahatma Gandhi Institute, Rana Mohip & Shivanand Maharaj in singing, sitar, tabla, harmonium etc Diwali, our movies, our music...
You neglect to mention that chutney songs have stemmed out of the Indian tradition of old ladies singing on the nights before the weddings, that's why so many are lawa songs, and Kabir songs, and songs that describe the wedding ceremony, or barahee even.
One Indian High Commissioner after the other has always remarked at how proud they are that Indians have retained their culture so well down here, the present High Commissioner's wife told me last week that out of India this was the best Diwali celebration she's seen.

We do have an Indian Culture, but some people are so hinged on being "Trini" that apparently you can't be Trini without recognising where you came from, and that culture.


I can see my reply pissing off a lot of people

*waits for sum1 to tell me to go back on a boat to India*
