I know this blog is for friends and family but I must admit I come back to read because I find the sociology fascinating - first generation Indian Americans serving the interests of the United States in the country of their ancestors, India. Do you feel a bit like the Ottoman Janissaries, some of whom went back to their ancestral provinces as agents of Istanbul, after having been thoroughly "Ottomanized". Of course, there are differences, but the feeling must be the same, no? Sorry for the intrusion but would love to hear more about how you view your situation from the point of view of identity. Thanks. I came across your blog from The Partition blog (which I came across bloghopping).
