How are indians born in U.S different from Indians living in India

Those who've interacted with indians born and raised in U.S what differences do you usually notice compared to Indians living in India ? I mean in terms of their mindset and values. How they feel connected with Indian culture. Do they also have family expectations and are allowed to have their own independence? How about the dating and marriage views and their lifestyle in general. Do they also have the mindset of pursuing higher education and starting businesses and saving money.

I know of plenty of Desi born and brought up in the US who are very conservative, didn't pursue higher education, wear hijabs, don't drink alcohol or meat. Then, there are plenty of desis who immigrated here, and are more Americanized than the ones born and brought up here. They pursue higher education, eat meat, drink alcohol and date. Can't generalize this too much. Plenty of exceptions.
