Everything I said was fact not opinion. You can believe whatever you want.
They maybe a 110 year old community, but they look out of place because they still wear their medieval clothing. Surds main problem is that they are frequently mistaken for the Taliban by the general public. Again, as I already said nobody knows anything about Sikhs, they do however see the Taliban in their tv screens everyday.
You caught the right point mate..There are few reasons.They are not pretending to be Indian but are just accepting the simple truth that we all are Indians , one people bound by blood and history.
a Pakistani is a citizen of the Islamic republic of Pakistan , but an Indian is anyone from the species indo sapiens .
If you see the history of the civilisation and the recent history of the subcontinent you can see how absurd the "2 nation theory" is . you may argue that at the time of partition they were under the british divide and rule influence and had serious communication gaps , but let me remind you this : there were some muslims who migrated from the going to be Pakistan region due to patriotism but there were no hindus , sikhs , jains or parsis who migrated to going to be pakistan.
so does that make followers of the 2 nation theory narrow-minded , intolerant ignorant bigots ?
from my point of view : YES
now , do the people of the subcontinent(not the ignorant ones) consider each other their brethren ? : YES
Is the Indian cultural Identity confined to only the Republic of India ? : NO
So technically , is a Pakistani/~ origin person eligible to identify themselves as "Indian" ? : YES

That's a popular stereotype, and as with all stereotypes has some validity, but it's hyperbolic and exaggerated.
Here: India in blue including the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, but excluding disputed territories, and Germany in Green.

Want to play another round? And yes we Americans are very insular, like the rest of the world. We care most about our nation.
You get the coverage you look for. We have a vibrant media landscape with outlets covering every nation, every slat and every viewpoint. From RT to CCTV, The Guardian to Breitbart, Al Jazeera to NDTV. We offer whatever you want and yes, India gets coverage. It's just up to you to find it.
CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, that's not the depth of the US media landscape. If you want coverage of India, there's an outlet willing to accommodate. The major outlets do cover India too, BTW.
South Asia actually. Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Nepal, Bhutan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh round out the South Asian sub-continent.
Would you like me to highlight them on a map too?
It's not the rule of law, but the vibrancy of investigations, a distrust of government that makes people question the official narrative, a culture of leaks - as Trump and Obama had grappled with that outed everything from the mundane to the criminal - and people's interest in information. The rule of law is often trumped by personal ethics, especially in regards to governmental leaks, such as those of policy drafts, conversations and the like.
Chelsea Manning leaked information to WikiLeaks out of ethical concerns for cover-ups in the military, as well as leaking mundane diplomatic information. It wasn't the rule of law, but ethical concerns.
The rule of law sentenced Manning to prison time, while the rule of law also pardoned her.
Cover-ups happen too, often for years before some journalist, concerned government worker, happened passerby or government looking to clean-house leaks the information or comes clean. I'd wager cover-ups are ongoing as we sit here and write, and they'll be made evident one day too... or maybe not.
I'm an American citizen, educated in the United States at both a primary and collegiate level, a product of the infamously terrible US education system, the world you're offering is not representative of "most Americans". It is, in your own words a "puffed up make-belief world"
True many of us simply don't care one way or another about outside concerns, like Hinduism, and I'll profess an ignorance on the matter, but that doesn't mean we haven't heard of it either, we have our interests. I doubt you could give a qualitative rundown of our government, which is a matter of interest to many Americans. It doesn't mean that cover-ups don't happen because we have evidence to the contrary. Or we're really that bad at geography, we even make helpful maps to soothe our short-attention spans while simultaneously educating us. Helping us remember where countries are, and reinforcing our stereotypes about them.
But your views are hyperbolic. Instead of offering another to ask Americans on this forum to confirm your views, why don't you ask Americans on this forum and see if your views match with their reality?
You'll find we're more well versed then you'd otherwise think.

Its not mistaken identity. Average jobless see Microsoft CEO being Indian origin and ask wtf is macaca doing there, I likely can do better job then him.
Average American isn't that stupid, they just blame moozlim after shooting Indians to get less backslash. There is jealousy factor involved, they see Indians with H1B visas direct threat to their jobs. They are also not accustomed to see so many black *** people in rich areas where whites used to dominate.

"Ohio Rich *** Suburban Park is Occupied by Rich *** Indians with Various Green $$$ (H1-B L-1 H-4 ) Visas. $60,000 Porsche SUV and Big *** $$$ BMWs sited at Cricket Match. It is Called Occupy and Displace. What Happened to the People Who Used to Live There and Used the Park? They lost their jobs to people from foreign countries. How and Why? The Ohio Political and Economic Elites Made it Happen for their own $$$ Interests. They are nodding in happiness at the local Country Clubs.
It was the summer of 2016 and Save American Information Technology Jobs was on the ground with a video journey about the presence of Indian guest workers in the Great Midwest. Our walk in the park provides evidence as to who has the Jobs in this area, and they are not the citizens of Ohio. It is proof on the ground how guest workers are not only taking over jobs, but also taking away the real estate and parks. The USA Ohio IT Workers have disappeared to oblivion.
They call it Indian Park and it is located in an upper class hood in the RichAss Columbus Area. I have visited this park every year observing the congregation of the Indian crowd playing cricket and just hanging around. In the last couple of years, I came across was a few young Indians siting on the park bench talking.
What I saw this year knocked my socks off and my camera loose. This year Indian Park has tripled or quadrupled in numbers of Indian families with wives and children in expensive baby carriages. A survey of the cars parked behind the park included 60K Porsche SUV, BMW’s, Camry’s and large SUVs. These people do not make the 65K H-1B minimum salary. These Indians have to be clocking in at $$$150 - 200K plus in salary to live in this area. The clothes they are wearing, the cars in the parking lot, the expensive baby strollers, ALL pointed to BIG $$$.
Columbus is a prime targeted location for Indians. It is pure nirvana for them. The Columbus area has perfect roads, water and sewage landscaping and roundabouts, it is a gorgeous area and the Indians know it. That couples with the pro H-1B L-1 business requirements exposed by the pro business Country Club Establishment crowd in Ohio, IT layoffs have been going on for years throughout Ohio - H-1B and offshoring rules. While IT people and other professional s move out of the suburban homes, the Indians move in. Displacement of Americans has occurred and Indians with various Visa documents in hand have become part of the landscape."
See he didn't mistake these Indian for Iranians. If tomorrow this guy goes around killing rich Indians in park then expect another moozlim excuse.
Are you telling me white americans can't tell difference between Iranians and Indians? Its all BS Indians on PDF tell to say all is right and white Americans are just angry at mooslims.
Iranians in USA
Indian Americans
