Could be that you loose some cultural traditions but you gain much more! Now I got the interest to learn more about India because it is the right time. We are from Enschede, The Netherlands and we used to visit our german grandparents every fortnight or atleast once a month. As my mother's family (India) did not accept the marriage and was excluded we the children were not that much interested in India. Since my Mom left India(1965) she was never there once again.
