Caribjee bai, tell dem NYC Indians that their children and grandchildren who were not born in India would be the same like the Guyanese. 

Meraa juuta hai Japaanii, yeh patluun Englishtaanii
My shoes are Japanese, these pants are British
Sar pe laal topii Ruusi, phir bhi dil hai Hindustanii
On my head is a red Russian hat, nonetheless my heart is Indian

They already call them ABCDs American Born Confused Desis because they don't want to marry some one of their parents' choosing. 

By the time those born in India die off its story done.  Indo Guyanese have long past that point.  How many people born in India are still alive? In fact its a declining % of Indo Guyanese who even know family members who were.

It does matter what you say. Mere dil mein Hindustani mai hu.  I am Indian in my heart. No one can take that away from me. 

The story is not done when those born in India die. We perform pujas sometimes going back to 3 to 4 generations for our ancestors. 

Your pandering is exposing your ignorance of the Indian Psyche. Charles Sugrim is being silly.
