I'm almost tempted to write something about the differing cultures of the American "blue" (north, central, west coast) and "red" states, but (a) that's already been done to death in a million other places and (b) life is too short. What I liked best about Aakar Patel's article, apart from all the stereotyping of people & cultures with whom I have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever, was all the Americanisms in the comments, viz, "Dude, seriously, grow up." Perhaps all of Indian culture, high culture and low, North and South, Hindu, Punjabi, Tamil, Moslem, etc, etc, etc can be ultimately reduced to the lowest common denominator of Southern California suburbia?
