All these people I don't think are Indians (correct me if I am wrong) - but they follow what you say is an Indian trait and true only if you were living in India. Or is it they was eye-washed by Indians????

Similarly, the Richmond hill area, west of Yonge is full of two communities - Russians and Iranis. I do not think even they are Indians in any manner. Do you have an explanation for that??

Chandresh

It would be easier if you read your own statements a little more analytically. You write about Russians, Italians, Iranians, Poles etc etc. You are absolutely right and it is perfectly normal for "communities" to form based on nationality. But please let me know if within the Russian community, you have found further subdivisions based on province. Is there a community of Moscovites, or St Petersburgians? Is there a Milanian or Pisa-ite group within the Italian group. Or is there a Tehrania group? No!!

The Indian however is not satisfied with the formation of an Indian community. He goes on further to form a Maharashtrian/Bengali/Tamil community based on province or even to a further micro level of Mumbaites/Delhites or whatever based on city!! This is true only for us great "Indians"!!

I wouldn't be surprised if one of these days I come across some desi looking to form a community based on his "mohalla" back home!

I don't understand why we Indians try to only mingle with our own 'groups'. Can we not be happy to just meet Indians?

Interests should be more of a factor than where you are from.

Absulutly right.
It is a good attitude to mingle with all Indians and not just rigianal baseed groupings . It breeds division. This is Canada gentelman.

There are lot of people I mean in US and they asked me if I am from Pune or Mumbai(when they heard me speaking Marathi).As if Marathi speaking people are only from either Pune or Mumbai.So what I am pointing out is that there are groups within Maharashtrians.
