Growing Up Indian in the Twentieth Century
![Jese Leos](https://nicksucre.com/author/victor-turner.jpg)
I was born in Bombay, India, in the early 1940s. My parents had emigrated from the Punjab to Mumbai in the hope of finding a better life. My father worked as a clerk, and my mother was a homemaker. We lived in a small apartment in a crowded neighborhood.

My childhood was happy and carefree. I played cricket in the streets, went to school barefoot, and spent hours reading books. I was also fascinated by the Bollywood movies that I saw at the local cinema.

As I grew older, I became more aware of the social and economic realities of life in India. I saw that there was a great deal of poverty and inequality. I also learned about the country's long history of colonialism and struggle for independence.
In 1962, when I was 18 years old, I left India to study in the United States. I was excited to be able to experience a different culture, but I was also apprehensive about leaving my family and friends behind.
My time in the United States was a challenging and rewarding experience. I had to learn how to adapt to a new culture and a new way of life. I also had to deal with the prejudice and discrimination that Indians often faced in the United States.

Despite the challenges, I eventually earned a college degree and found a job as a software engineer. I married an Indian woman who had also immigrated to the United States. Together, we raised two children who are now adults.
I have lived in the United States for over 50 years, but I still consider myself to be an Indian. I am proud of my heritage and my culture. I am also grateful for the opportunities that I have been given in this country.
Growing up Indian in the twentieth century was a unique and unforgettable experience. It has shaped my identity and the way I view the world.
