Our parents come from a different culture where everything is done in a different way. I don't know about you, but my parents wedding was arranged. They do not expect the same from me. They have "adapted" to their new culture, somewhat. Maybe your parents expect the same from you, who knows. I bet that they only want the best in life for you. I know that my parents were very strict, especially when compared to my friends whose parents were from America. It was really hard for me to understand why they were so strict and overprotective, but as I got older I began to understand.I did begin to rebel at an early age (which turned out to be a huge mistake.) because I did not understand why I was being treated differently. Where I live there are only a few Indian families and none of my friends were Indian, I think that this only added fuel to the fire. If I have any advice for you it is listen to your parents, I know that this sounds lame, but I guarantee you it will be the best decision that you could make.

Because they're smart enough to predict what will happen to their kids if they don't be conservative, strict, and protective.
An unfortunate part of American culture is a lack of intelligent concern for our children. Just look at child abuse rates, as well as teenage pregnancy. You could also consider all the school shootings that have occured in the last few years.
We're much too concerned about how are children will feel if the teacher uses red ink, or the psychological consequences of basic discipline to teach our kids, and that's too bad.
But that's not the same in every country. That's why I thank God for our "melting pot." We have positive influences from a lot of different cultures, if we're smart enough to observe and learn. We have an opportunity to observe lots of different advantages, and to exclude lots of different negative influences.

You've had a lot of great answers so far. I don't think all indian parents are like that. There are indians living throughout the world and how they treat their children may somehow reflect on how they were brought up or yet some may adopt the culture of the people in the country that they live in.

Simple. Dating is western culture. Some of that culture blends with us easily and we do not hesitate to accepit it. But some things won't be that easy to accept. I beleive not only hindus, muslims, sikhs, and other but also christians in our country do not follow dating as a rule.
We should now think of indians in terms of richest, rich, upper middle, middle, lower middle, poor, and very poor. the first two catagories are already dating, blind dating and doing what THEY feel is right. the next three classes consist majority of indians - irrespective of religion - and carry the "burdon" of morality, ethics, culture and pride of being what we call conservative or maybe cultured Indians. For eg woman in this category will think thousand times before she files for a divorce bcz she will be thinking of her parents, her kids, the society and other insignificant things first and think about her happiness last or maybe not even think about it. will this happen in say, usa?
Again, Indian parents are more protective of their kids. we have greater family values. Dating culture will not go down the throat that easily.

In India they have different culture then in America. Their belief is that marriage or dating shouldn't be in the first place of your life. They teach their children to get first careers and good jobs and then they can marry or date. That's why today you can see in America so much Indian doctors! When young they try to get as much as possible from education rather then from girls or boys relationship.

I think India is the only place in the World where the people still respect the morals, traditions and beliefs. India is the only place where still the children touch their parents' feet to get their blessings. All are not conservative.

Because they don't want their children to end up like the children in our country...
Definitely not all but...
Uneducated, pregnant, and on welfare!
We all need to instill these standards in our own families :-)
I did not learn from anyone but my own mistakes. I do however admire the strong family values :-)
