A good spicy mutton biryani recipe would be awesome as well. I do live near a Pakistani grocery store for ingredients.
Hey everybody! I used to lurk on this sub and some others quite a bit and Iβm gonna try to keep this short. I moved to the US when I was around 6 and was the youngest out of 5 children with 3 older sisters and 1 brother. Growing up I watched all my sisters get into a arranged/forced marriage to my first cousins back home who were older and it hurt me, meanwhile my brother was a 24 year old serial cheater who raised 25k for their weddings and then married a 16/17 year old of my religious mothersβs choice from back home and then later married his Bengali GF who he cheated and later tells me shitty advice an being Alpha male and βgrab women by the pussyβ like Donald trump since Iβm still a virgin that has never had GF
My dad is a nationalist Pakistani hypocrite that has been in the US for over 30 years and he who drinks hard liqour, smokes cigs, eats red meat. When I was 7 and learning English I had seen him go on dating websites even and realized what he had been doing and I discovered porn on his computer when I was 12. He often mentally abuses me and has even given me dietary issues by only cooking goat meat and just overall to tell me to be a macho man and has sometimes gotten drunk and hit me cause he found out I was smoking weed in the house when it was cold out, my fault I know I was doing it to cope.
My mother is a super religious woman and doesnβt know Iβm a quite secular person I have no problem with religion I respect what Islam has taught me about race especially and charity but Iβm just somebody who wants to live his life the way he wants to. I think of myself as a secular Sufi in fact who appreciates Pakistani culture and South Asian culture such as food, music, dancing, art I wanna help some day with organizations back home and the entire subcontinent If I have resources.

Iβm not sure what to do right now because I donβt like my father and most people in my family just want me to be something Iβm not and for the past 7 years weβve been trying to buy a house here and they want me to move in with them and move out when Iβm 30. Iβm not exactly in the best state of mind to do get in education because I canβt focus because of these problems, so Iβm getting help for it. Every time I talk about leaving a family member guilt trips me but I feel as If Iβve been given false hope. I just wanna play guitar, learn how to cook and do other skills on my own. I don't want a wife to take care of me,
... keep reading on reddit β‘I wanted to share the story of Naila Amin, a Pakistani-American woman, who was forced into child marriage at 13. Years later, Naila and other activists have successfully advocated for the ban of child marriage in New Jersey and New York. It's incredible because these are 2 of the only 6 states that ban child marriage-44 states in the US still allow this. 40 children are married each day in the US, and 86% of them are girls.
This is older news (from August this year), but I didn't see much coverage of it on Asian-American sites. Plus mainstream sites typically credited and centered former NY Governor Cuomo in coverage when Naila had to call the Cuomo's office daily to get it signed.
Here's the article to read more of Naila's story and efforts to change the law (TW: rape, domestic violence): NBC News - She was forced to wed at 13. Now sheβs helped make child marriage illegal in N.Y.
Indians are the most numerous and most visible South Asian group and so it stands to reason people have more opinions(for the better or worse) about them than they do about other groups. Pakistanis might be the exception here, people do seem to be somewhat familiar with them but still not to the extent that they are with Indians and the negative stereotypes are somewhat different(terrorist vs IT worker).
I think this is partially why despite the cross-national overlap of the subcontinent, I still feel I can relate far more strongly to an Indian American of ANY ethnic background(whether Punjabi, Gujarati, Tamil, or Bengali) or religious background(Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Muslim) than to any other South Asians.
So I want to know you guy's thoughts on this.
