Indians are more than a stereotype: Moira Shourie on diaspora
"By exporting our culture, by inviting other cultures to participate with us, to hybridize, to mix Bhangra into hip-hop—we are adding flavor," she added.

Los Angeles-based media executive Moira Shourie, director of Zócalo Public Square, believes that the essence of being Indian extends far beyond religious or cultural stereotypes. "Indians are way beyond Hindu culture and a certain stereotype," she told New India Abroad in an interview on the sidelines of Indiaspora Summit Forum for Good (IFG) 2025 in Abu Dhabi.
"I'm Christian, I'm Catholic actually, and I'm Anglo-Indian. My ancestors, whoever they were, came to India in the early 1800s and intermarried, and here I am. I consider myself as Indian as anybody else at this conference."
