We
know that our goals and mission sound idealistically vague, however, one
thing is undeniably real: we are establishing the foundation for the Indian-American
experience for generations to come. As a community, we have many choices
as we create our future - here are but a few generalizations:
1)
We can assimilate fully, and take on an identity indistinguishable from
the "melting pot" of America - our children will progressively
distance themselves from their cultural history.
2)
We can live in an ethnic enclave, enjoy the amenities of American life
without any civic participation, and alienate future generations from
the benefits of American society and the rewards of true public service.
3)
We can aim to strike a balance between two cultures, build a powerful
community with capable leaders, and bring a unique cultural perspective
to our society.
Indify
is interested in helping motivated individuals build a community upon
the positive aspects of the Indian and American ways of life.
