She has no connection to India and was raised by her mother. Enough said. My father is Irish and my mother is an American of Irish descent but I do not consider myself Irish. I am an American.

The Indian media can be so infantile sometimes.

Think about it, she was born and raised in America by a white mother. Where is she gonna learn about the Indian part of her culture? Where is she gonna learn about the language and the culture? From her white mother? I don't think so. If there's one person to blame for Norah's lack of understanding of Indian culture, it's her dad Ravi. So get off her case. I myself am an NRI who was born and raised in England. It's not the same as living in India, you have to have a balance of both cultures. There are some Indians here who are too western and some are too eastern. It's best to have a balance. Just because she is half indian genetically, does not mean she has to feel Indian.
