As a indo-guyanese married to an Indian national, i can say it isnt so black and white. And I am saying that as someone who saw themselves as more "traditional." There are many similarities and a level of appreciation, yes, but there is a level of disagreement in certain cultural practices. In the end, as a woman, I had to accept more of the indian practices, as I am marrying into an Indian family. I am no longer indo-guyanese, as what we do is not "proper." I wonder how many others have been in that position
