What is your cultural identity, nationality, cultural background religious or spiritual beliefs?

Culturally, I have a very western influence as I am Catholic. Sometimes I feel like I am left out of Indian cultural events being a Catholic, and representing a minority of India. India has a very Hindu culture and that is why I often feel secluded from Indian gatherings. However bad this may feel, I still feel very proud to be an Indian. I was born a Catholic and I have only recently started to fully believe in the religion. My ancestors were pure Indians who at some point converted to Catholicism when the British had colonized India. In conclusion I would like to say that I am a modern, liberal Indian in terms of culture, belief and views and different issues.
