A2: India

The India in Ann Arbor blog has a guest post by UM student Adhiraj Vable, who writes about how his connection to India changed over the years. During his childhood in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, he didn’t feel strong ties to his homeland. Vable writes: “Throughout my first few years in Ann Arbor, things pretty much stayed the same – I didn’t join any Indian centered student groups, and the Indians I was friends with were friends because of similar interests, not heritages. Again, my un-involvement in the Indian community was nothing fueled by resentment, it just wasn’t something that crossed my mind.” [Source]
