    bollywood is the name of the film industry in India. India releases the most number of movies in the whole world. The main city where the movie production studios are located in Bombay ( or now called Mumbai)....so then we got the name Bollywood from Bombay to call our city of movie production.

    Be proud of yourself for who you are! Sounds like you allow yourself to be an individual, and that's fine. 1. I think that is pretty weird that some Indian guys have suggested you date a white woman - but that is just some guys. Can you really attribute those suggestions to all Indians? Date the person you are attracted to, who will love you and treat you with respect. 2. I think Indians are highly respected. Don't worry about stereotypes. Just be a good person and people will like you. 3. Just try to be the best dad you can be. 4. Don't wish you were anything else. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. This is the U.S.A., the melting pot. You can be with whomever you want. To hell with anyone who opposes! I think being proud of your ancestry has more to do with just being okay with whoever you are. Just remember, YOU are as much a representative of an Indian person as anyone else who is Indian, right? You can be proud of all that your ancestors have accomplished in terms of contributions to the world in the fields of art, science, literature, spirituality, etc.

    It's actually the Indian movie industry which is fairly huge too. The name is derived from Hollywood.
