  • Venes from IndiaAs an Indian, I know what it feels like living in a society where most people are kind of closed minded. I mean.. believe it or not, most indians, both baby boomers and the newer generation (millennials and gen z) are homophobic, they still don't accept diversity and cannot comprehend that there exist various cultures, various types of music and various types of people. However I am glad that I was raised by a mother who has always been broad minded, I have an elder brother who is a musician and a father who, if not openly supportive, is atleast respectful of foreign cultures. I've grown up listening to Michael Jackson, Elvis, Prince, Tupac, Biggie, Queen and so on. But that doesn't mean I have forgotten my roots, I have been learning Indian Classical music since I was 4 years old. And because of all these things I feel like I am capable of seeing the world a little better, with a clear and non judgemental vision. I can relate to Halsey. Now it is easier for me to accept a number of things which a lot of people might consider as taboos and also I can accept who I am as a person. I just wish more people had parents like that, who guide their children to be open minded and accepting
