My wife's half-Indian, her father's from Uganda and she was born in Canada. Her sister speaks French and their family speaks a little Gujarati, and I'm talking about Gujarati from 1940! And just think - Rajpal Yadav in the middle of all this. What a contrast!

From my foster parents, the Deans, I received the love that was ultimately to strengthen me, even when I had forgotten its source.

Mawra Hocane

I had an Indian face, but I never saw it as Indian, in part because in America the Indian was dead. The Indian had been killed in cowboy movies, or was playing bingo in Oklahoma. Also, in my middle-class Mexican family indio was a bad word, one my parents shy away from to this day. That's one of the reasons, of course, why I always insist, in my bratty way, on saying, Soy indio! - "I am an Indian!"
