Allow me to illustrate ray point. Some time ago, I took my visiting Singapore-born-and-raised cousin to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. Later, while driving home, I talked about the fine Chinese food we’d just had.
“Was that Chinese food?” my cousin exclaimed.
“Oh, I didn’t know. ” It must have tasted too Indian for him to realize it.
Meanwhile, like countless others, my village has transformed over the past decades. Many people wear modern clothes and TV brings cricket into local homes. There’s even an English-language school, where you can hear kids giggling, yelling, flirting—all in English, but with an Indian accent. Just like the Chinese food you get in India.
Are these foreign influences something to worry about? I don’t think so. India’s Chinese food tastes pretty good to me!
