Most Indians, however, kept their faith while anglicising their names and mannerisms so as to fit in. Food was practically the only marker of their ethnicity that survived this acculturation. But something has changed in the 21st century. Diwali, Holi and many other festivals have spilled out of exclusively Indian circles to become universal celebrations. Key Points
