PP now that I think through, I don't think Indian families have that much of an issue marrying their daughters of to a Non-indian man. There are way too many examples of successful marriages and happy ILs, that  I see. They would balk at the thought of getting a DIL from a diff.  culture though. That's because women have the role of peace keepers/relationship builders in the family and that does require a deeper understanding and tolerance of family dynamics.  That aside, I think every Indian parent dreads losing  their culture, language, customs and traditions. Keep up with that and they're happy.[/quote]

PP you quoted -- that's probably true (although not relevant to OP's situation).   But I also think that American born/raised Indian girls behave more like the Americans they are, rather than ideal Indian DILs and that can raise issues with Indian-born parents-in-law, with the added bitterness of the parents thinking that she should 'know' better because she's Indian.
