The standard for Indian-Americans is seemingly impossibly high wherever they go. Not fully accepted as "American" nor fully embraced as "fully Indian."  Rashmili Vemula and Gurtej Singh join Jessica in a conversation about assimilation, cultural retention and language learning as Indian-Americans. Rashmili talks through her Telegu roots and how dance was a connection point to Indian culture. Gurtej shares how American Sikhs are used to being a minority wherever they go.    Check YouTube for the video of our conversation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIrG7vE8Ua4&ab_channel=InvisibleIndiaPodcast Don't forget to subscribe on your favorite platform- iTunes, Spotify, Google Podcasts and all major streaming platforms.    _________________________________________    Find more including the audio version on: https://invisibleindiapodcast.com/episodes _________________________________________     Follow Invisible India on social media -     Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/invisibleindia Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/pg/TheInvisibleIndia TikTok- http://tiktok.com/@invisibleindia Twitter- https://twitter.com/IndiaInvisible _________________________________________     Check out the Carolina Desi: -iTunes- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-carolina-desi/id1218531161 -Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/thecarolinadesi/?hl=en _________________________________________     www.invisibleindiapodcast.com     The Invisible India Podcast’s opening and closing music is performed by Christopher Hale on Sitar and Ed Hanley on Tabla on Raag Bhimpalasi.
