AITA for being hesitant about dating an Indian girl because of her parents?

NTA.

I had a friend in college that had his heart ripped in half by a situation exactly like this. Her parents apparently enjoyed him immensely and everything seemed fine...then they got engaged. Her parents didn't make it obvious but something had shifted. Her grandparents suddenly visited from India while she was at her parents' home during winter break. Three days into it, she sent a text breaking up and blocked all contact. He was a mess for weeks and was obviously distressed over it for the rest of the time I knew him (haven't seen him a decade at this point). They had been dating since high school (though they didn't go to the same colleges, they were still in the same city).
They had been making plans and were discussing future children, where to live, all that nonsense. Torn apart in a matter of days.

I'd stay far away from anything serious because if it truly came down to it, she'll probably pick her family over you.


On the reverse, I had a coworker whose wife came from a wealthy Chinese family and they hated him. She told them to piss off and got married anyway. They've been married over 30 years at this point and the joke now is that they like him more than they like her.
