Dear Jaykay,

I can safely assure you that most Hindus in Malaysia both Brahmins and Non Brahmins strive very hard to maintain culture and religion.
Ok regarding USA I have known a few friends of mine NB and Brahmins from USA who still maintain culture and religion.
Many are vegetarians and may outwardly look modern but know their prayers,mantras and culture by heart.

Out here sometimes people even go overboard to maintain culture.Even folk dances are still maintained here and many are reverting to tradition for every thing in life.

Astrology and Numerology is firmly rooted here that people walk around with weird spelling names for the sake of numerology.

The Government also encourages everyone to maintain their culture and want unity in diversity.
We have 3 major races here and we learn to accept and share culture with all.

In fact living abroad we take more trouble to keep in touch with India and Hindu culture.
Why else do you think I fly to India every year?
To get Hindu related books etc and also too keep in touch with religion.

Some of my cousins visit India twice a year for pilgrimages too.

You know sir..sometimes decline in religious and cultural practices take place not in foreign land but in India itself...you know why?

Cos when we are surrounded by our own culture all the while sometimes we take it for granted that we will learn it some day and keep procrastinating and eventually never learn much.
