I don't think there is anything 'fashionable'. If anybody from those countries want to post relevant materials, I am sure they are free to do so, and we can all chip in for the discussion.
It may just be that a larger database of people/materials are readily available to be shared from the NRIs from Americas. Of course we have Madam Renuka from malaysia.

I never really felt like an NRI cos I have been born brought up here for generations and a natural born citizen.

I love Malaysia cos we are still very much our own selves in culture and religion.
And it's only three and a half hours away from India..so when feeling bored take a flight to India.

The Malay language is also a very sweet language which has lots of Sanskrit words.
Curds(Thayir) is called Dadih in Malay..so Sanskrit sounding.

Even in Royal ceremonies the word Paduka is used to denote respect to the royalty.
Brings back fond memories of Bharata worshiping the Paduka of Lord Rama.

I feel real fine here.

I like India too but only one drawback..when I am in India I have to watch what I wear cos when I was in India as a student our professors used to judge a person's character based on what we wear.

Out here in Malaysia I have the freedom to wear anything from a Saree to a Mini Skirt!!LOL

So I am happy being in Malaysia and being nearby to India.
