The Emergence of a Diasporic Singular Desi Culture
I have been observing this for a while on several social media platforms and I have a theory that a singular “Desi” culture is taking shape in North America, and perhaps other diasporas. Since I haven’t had much experience with other diasporas in several years, I will only focus on this phenomenon through a North American lense.
The reason for saying is that I increasingly see young South Asians, in particular, Gen Z, make tiktoks mentioning how “our” culture is beautiful, and then proceed to show off cultural dress, cuisine, art, architecture etc. playing to a remixed Bollywood song.
The issue here is not showing appreciation, but the issue is using the singular from of culture instead of the plural — cultures.
South Asia is not a monolith, nor does it have one culture, so which culture in particular are we here appreciating? Every country, whether it would be Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, (Southern) Tibet (controversial, I know) , The Maldives, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and Diaspora countries like Suriname, Guyana, Belize, Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, Mauritius, Fiji etc. all have self-contained individual cultures that are inter-connected or unique to their own region.
These tiktoks, from my observation, show only Northern Indian cultural aspects with a heavy emphasis on Punjabi culture. Popular Tiktok dances feature Hindi and Punjabi, yet rarely any music from other states. Then again, it is called fyp for a reason. It may be the content I interact with, but then again I interact with a broad spectrum of self-stylized Desi creators on “brown tiktok”. From North to South.
Every now and then, there is legitimate criticism on limiting Desi tiktok to Hindi-Urdu and Punjabi songs where a number of videos have been circulating to test one’s “Desiness” whether you know these songs or not. Same goes for movies. If not, then you are white-washed. What about the rest, who don’t speak Hindi-Urdu or Punjabi? This is why being “Desi” is quite controversial because it means different things to different people.
Why do I think that there is singular North American Desi culture emerging? It is because Bollywood consumption plays a central role in it in making the younger generation believe that there is a such thing as one culture being portrayed in Bollywood while reality is something very different.
I as a Punjabi am used to seeing my culture being hyper-represented in Indo-Pak media. In fact, it is the culture that is used in Bollywood and Lollywood productions the most when we talk about cultural reprentation. Same for music, apart from Hindi, Punjabi is the only regional language that gets that much attention and gone worldwide – for good and bad reasons.
Home culture is very different. We all have our own home culture that we grew up in. We have our languages, our own foods, our own clothes, own histories, yet when these younger Desis present themselves to the outside world, it all dissipates and changed into this Bollywood-esque performance.
We suddenly ALL eat naan, biryani, samosein, jalebi, gulab jamun, roti and we ALL speak Hindi, wear saris, lehengas, shalwar kameezein and are ALL Indian, desi, and brown.
Yet, here I am, not knowing anything about other regional dishes other than my own which ironically is all of the above and more as a Punjabi-Pakistani. I have no idea what Gujuratis eat, no idea what Sindhis eat, I had no idea what Marathi sounded. I had no idea Bihari songs were popular. I have no idea what Assamese wear.
It disregards everything unique and hyper-focuses on Bollywood and Punjab as the source for this repackaged Desi culture. Bengali home culture, Punjabi home culture, Pashtun home culture, Tamizh home culture, Devehi home culture, Indo-Guyanese home culture, Indo-Surinamese home culture are all different environments, yet you won’t see that when you land on #browntok, instead you will see this generic brand where everyone supposedly can participate in disregarding that it leaves people out and alienizes anyone that doesn’t relate to “Desi culture”
I find it so odd that Patels are quite well represented, yet know nothing about Gujurati culture or their language other than “kemcho”. The reason why I bring this up is because the culture would be seen as foreign to the Desi-sphere and not recognizable as Desi because people views this “Desi culture” though a very narrow lense.
In a way this Desi culture is just repackaged Punjabi culture made palatable for the masses that are fixated on romanticized images of their home countries disregarding class differences, history, and culture. People don’t realize that only certain classe wore such ornamental dresses like the lehenga choli and thatvit was limited to a certain class or money and still is, yet is touted as something accessible to anyone.
Big “Indian” weddings are not the norm, they are the exception, yet still are juxtapositioned with White Weddings as being something extravagent. It only works if you or family have money.
Bottomline: this Desi singular culture does not exist outside of social media realistically because we all have our own cultural aspects that are unique. Bollywood is not an accurate and reliable cultural representation. You are not cultured by watching Bollywood movies, you are a good consumer. People need to show off their regional cultures more.

There's this lovely Pakistani tiktoker who does a lot of food videos, and in two videos he bought a live chicken specifically so he could butcher it himself and eat it (not on camera, obviously) but holyyyyy the reaction was waaaay out of proportion. Like he's literally done cooking videos featuring chicken before, but now that he's the one to get an ethically sourced chicken and then do the bloody work himself (literally) now its a problem?
I think Americans think that meat just magically appears in the grocery store & no animal had to die for it.

A callout post on Locket. (aka @llocket)
(JOKE & NON-SERIOUS happy april fools)
Tumblr media
1. he spread misinformation
i'll be talking about this post where they "defend" nahida being brown
Tumblr media
locket spread misinformation on that post because famous non-muslim non-indian tiktok user firestorm703934 said she's based off the moon (not saraswati who has the godly glow of the moon, just the moon itself because that makes so much sense for the god of dendro and wisdom to be based off the moon itself) on a post where an artist drew nahida with melanin
Tumblr media Tumblr media
as you see in this comment, they're totally right about their point, the moon ISN'T tan. therefore nahida shouldn't be "tan" either, it's perfect logic
Tumblr media
2. sent me cryptic death threats
locket would sometimes send me messages that i don't understand, so i put them through in google translate and you will never believe what they said
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this was really hurtful. i cried for days on end after google translating this.
Tumblr media
3. cultural appropriation
locket speaks urdu, but they have multiple parts with names of different languages
Tumblr media
as you can see here kaveh is a PERSIAN name. not URDU.
Tumblr media
and here, kaeya is an INDIAN name. not URDU.
also, one of his parts used a language thats NATIVE TO INDIA (NOT URDU.) symbol as an aesthetic in their intro.
Tumblr media
(urdu is a mix of arabic, turkish and persian just so you know, and they are half indian half pakistani, they can use all of these)
Tumblr media
4. he was previously RCTA
from 2015~2022 locket claimed to be a different race, he claimed to be canadian and white, not half pakistani and half indian.
proof:
Tumblr media
this is from their old carrd from 3 years ago claiming that they're white
Tumblr media Tumblr media
here they are seen PHOTOSHOPPING THEIR SKIN to be another race, like wow, why would you do this to yourself? that's so fucking insane
this is their REAL HAND in comparison:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
THIS IS SICK. ^
they've also made their roblox avatar white back in 2021 to trick me into thinking they're white:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
his username is "J44KU", as you can see it's WHITE
Tumblr media
5. copying my work
multiple times locket has purposfully copied my work. taking too heavy inspiration and then claiming it as their OWN.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
here you see locket clearly copying my akira and ryo graphics i've made in december last year.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and here you see the CLEAREST COPY IN EXISTENCE. they copied everything about my part noir's rentry. it's SICK
Tumblr media
