An Indian girl may be harder to pull, not because she is Indian, but because of our (I'm Indian) cultural morals/values. Depending on how she was brought up, and if its anything like the usual Indian traditional, then she may have the view of it being wrong to be with any other guy than the husband her parents pick out for her - in this sense she may be a lot harder to pull.
Whether a girl looks nice or not is all personal preference, and to be honest you shouldn't really care what your mates say she looked like, if you thought she looked nice (unless you were too drunk to notice and remember
)

As soon as bollywood and sarees go out of fashion, she'll probably dump you
For me personally I wouldn't go down that route. Marrying someone of my religion will probably result in enough hassle as it is, the last thing I need are the additional racist jibes that I would get if I married in a different culture. I think the biggest problems are more long term re: children.

Some people can be so harsh. I don't know why people can't accept things like this, but they just can't and everyone has to live with those annoying minorities.

I understand what you mean, because I am Indian and I would want my children to be able to speak my language and do all the traditional things, but that would be very difficult if I had an English wife... not only on the marriage, but for the child too.

Shouldnt matter. If you both care about each other it shouldnt matter what comment narrow minded racists make about it being wrong...etc
Its not like being white british is even close to a pure race anyway
Just try to explain the traditions slowly to your gf, she may have never heard of many practices or ideas/had much contact with sikhs in the past.

Cheese.
Kamikaze_Pigeon is British and his Wife Japan_Air is Japanese
They have been married for nearly 6 years ( I think ) and have 2 very handsome baby boys !
They fit together like a jigsaw and have both lived in both native countries .. they are currently in Japan and as far as I am aware differences in culture have never been a problem ( KP being an annoying PITA sometimes has though !! ... Only kidding big bruv )
How can you say that these 2 handsome devils have a diluted bloodline ?

The only problem that I can really see is mixing religions, and the biggest part is marriage and children. It is very possible to teach children of more than one religion, although as they get older, if there are extreme differences they will probably want to stick with one, which could be upsetting if one partner would prefer their child follows them.
For any ceremony such as marriage, it is difficult, although not impossible to combine the two cultures. I would more expect that one culture would just take over though.
To make a mixed-culture relationship work, you need to be open and willing to compromise on many things. I think that culture is a wonderful thing though, and it is much more interesting when different people are combined than seculded.

I find that many Muslims I know are quite happy to accept a muslim man marrying a non-muslim woman, but not the other way round. Some are honest enough to tell me that this is because the religion expands whereas if the girls marries into the another religion, she may leave it. I'd be interested to hear your opinions on this school of thought.

I'm Irish and my fiance is Chinese. Yes the cultures are different and it can be difficult, but the idea that our children will be culturaly devalued due to their mixed race is laughable.

Dude, what's the conclusion to this post?
You never told ALL those people who were dying to know the result.http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17561366
Who cares what other people think, if you love them thats all that matters. Personally I couldn't care what religion or skin colour the person I love is, just as long as I was with them.
But don't listen to me, I'm just a waste of space.

Yea I am also led to believe that a muslim man is allowed to marry a girl who is not of the same faith. But girls are not allowed to. Unequal standards I know. I'm not entirely sure on the details but I believe a muslim man can marry a jewish or christian girl, or someone who will convert to be muslim.
