I am an East Indian Girl!
Hey,
I am not aspiring to be a doctor
Or an engineer
And I don't live with my grandparents, cousins, uncles, or aunts
Or eat curry on a regular basis
Or wear a traditional Indian suit everyday
And I dont know Gandhi, Narendra Modi, or Apu
However, I assume they're great people
I have a mother and father whom support me... even though I am a girl
My family and I speak without an Indian accent
And we pronounce it Vancouver not 'Wancouver'
I am proud to share my Indian roots with others
Proud not ashamed
And that the temple is a place for reflection
A bible is merely a book of suggestions and recommendations for peace,
not a book that contains rules or laws
And it is pronounced 'very good' not 'werry good' 'very!'
Indian girls don't just cook and clean
We are strong, educated, and confident
And the best part is I am an Indian girl
My name is Simran and I am an Indian girl
