Looks interesting.

 

Another BM - Indian women romance

Mississippi Masala, Anyone?

 

will check that out

 

The first female sultan of India who ruled just four years had a controversial relationship with an African slave she delegated a lot of power to at her court. Her name was Razia al-Din and his Jamal Yakut. Nobody really knows what was going on between them, but most suspect they were lovers. The Turkish nobles were so peeved by this they spent the entire time conspiring and ultimately revolted against them. A movie was made about it in the 80s, but of course the Habshi slave is portrayed by some spray tanned loser.

 

I'm looking at this and wondering. In my opionion Indians are one of the least likely group to date outside their race..........at least where I live it's true.

 

I constantly hear how much Native American women love black men. I think they feel a kinship with us conisdering our history in this country.

 

I am not talking Native American. I am talking India as the heritage of the woman in the movie, MF.

 

I don't think that's the case. If you look at their ties with the British empire, the result was a lot of inter-marriages between Europeans and Indians. I have seen many AWWM couples and personally I have had several relationships with women who were Indian or Pakistani Americans. In fact, I first saw the movie Mississippi Masala with an Indian lady I was dating at the time.

 

Its true. They ave very very strict with regards to who they date. Not only that but even in American, what CASTE they date into.....

...but it does happen.





My best friend and his wedding. He's Indian Sikh, she's black American Christian.

 

I stand corrected

 

Most brown skinned "people of color" are like that..not just Indians.

 

in what cities/communities are the south-asian girls more likely to be open to the brothers? and what are the differences if they are immigrants or grew up here?

 

And you know this how? How many Indians have you dated?
Its ok sista I know living life like a Precious look a like must be tough but keep your faith in Jesus chil. You'll find the tall Nubian prince of your dreams....

And leave your wack ass for a white girl. Sorry just the way it is. Now run along and get to the cash checking spot so you can play lotto and pay your alletric before they cut off your lights off again boo boo.

 

i have a girlfriend in dallas that is from pakistan...it would be very rare to date outside of their race/religion...infact, they still practice arranged marriages...she has a gorgeous daughter that has had several meetings...fortunately my friend is letting her daughter help make the choice of man she will marry...she wants her to be happy and find a man that will treat her right...

this movie seems so unlikely to happen in real life

 

My point exactly. I live in a suburb that has a lot of Indian and Asian families/couples comparitively. I cannot name one couple that is IR. Not one. And I mean men or women dating/married outside their race.

I can name many IR couples or families in the same area who are black, white or hispanic combinations. They seem open to other races moreso. I gotta go with Flaming on this one.

 

Well, I guess that my experiences are not typical then. I lived in the Midwest, in Illinois and Michigan. I dated several, five real relationships, Pakistani and Indian American ladies during the time I lived there. I met one lady through her brother, who was an engineer and worked with me. I met another through a mutual friend. I met another online, and so on. Many of these families still practiced arranged marriages. The engineer that I mentioned had an arranged marriage.

I knew of another Pakistani guy whose best friend in University was an African, and a fellow Muslim. He thought so highly of the African that he asked the guy to marry his sister, and they were married. When I lived in Florida a few years ago, I met a father and son who owned a very large contracting company. I surprised the son on one occasion by speaking a bit of Urdu, the native language of Pakistanis. He later showed me a picture of his nephews and nieces and told me that his sister was married to an African American.

My experience has been that the parents want their children to marry well. Many of the parents understand that the children want "love" marriages rather than "arranged" marriages. If the candidates for marriage chosen by their children are "good catches" they typically accept them. I was NEVER treated badly by Indian or Pakistani families or friends of the women I dated. I spent a lot of time in their communities at social gatherings, large dinner parties with many couples as guests, festive and religious occasions, Ramadan dinners, Indian Independence day festivals, musical concerts like Nasrut Ali Khan, a world famous Pakistani musician who collaborated with Peter Gabriel and other Western artists, as well as the typical dating fare that couples enjoy.

You also have to realize that many Asians live on their own, away from the influence of parents and often pursue relationships with whomever they choose. Interesting enough, for all of the "images" and portrayals of the meek and withdrawn Asian woman, you can find your share of true "party girls" who are Asian as well.

It may be a shock for some, but I often found it as easier to have a relationship with Asian women than White women.
