Wanting Authentic Indian/South Asian Perspectives for Character Research
I’m currently working on a writing project and hoping to connect with individuals who were raised in India, particularly within more traditional Hindu households/backgrounds, and who now live in the U.S. (especially the South, though not required).
A large emotional theme in the story involves grief, family dynamics, spirituality, and reincarnation, and I’m trying very hard to approach those themes with realism, nuance, and cultural respect rather than stereotypes. I’d especially love hearing about family traditions, food, language, religion/spirituality, childhood experiences, family roles, and everyday life details that feel authentic to your experience.
