[quote=Anonymous]I’m white and married to an Indian (raised here).  A number of odd responses to the post!

Where I live the Indians are very welcoming and I have a close friend who is an Indian immigrant.  In terms of culture, it’s hard to completely separate it from religion IMO. Is your DH’s family Hindu? Do they speak Hindi or another Indian language (there are several).  And which region are they from (traditions differ).

I would do some Google searching if traditions that are from the region of India your DH is from and try to incorporate those that appeal to you.  I would also do some cooking - you can likely find lessons you can take together if your in laws can’t do the teaching.  Or YouTube also has many step by step instructions.  Visit an India grocery store for ingredients.  And pick 1-2 additional holidays to celebrate throughout the year.

I don’t think you need to do a ton.  Just what you feel comfortable with. As your daughter gets older if she wants to explore further, you can try to help.
