Can an indian guy really change? (please answer only if yuo have personal experience with India or Indians)?

Can an indian guy really change? (please answer only if yuo have personal experience with India or Indians)?
To make the long story short...I had a Long distance relationship with an Indian guy who lives in U.K. right now. He received a very traditional upbringing (Hindu, South India) and while I am a Caucasian, Western girl. I was his first gf, and as his parents were expecting him to have an arrange marriage with a girl from their cast, he was hiding our relationship from them.
The relationship was getting very serious, he talked about marriage, and we started to plan my relocation to UK. But at that time, his parents came to visit him from Indian, and my guy started actingg strange: he hardly communicated to me while his parents were visiting (a month!), he started telling me that he was not sure if he loved me or if that was only phisical between us, and stufff like that, and in the end said that he could be with me only if we were married and that to marry me he needed his fathers blessing (which is almost mission impossible since i m Westernet, older than him , etc) . Anyway this was too much for me, and I broke up. I really found it immaturee that a grown up man needs father permition for a girlfriend. It was so shocking to me to see how frightened he was from his parents.
So we did not have much contact for about half a year. Then we started talking to him, and I discovered that he was still madly in love with me. I decided to give him an other chance, but this time with conditions. I asked him to tell to his parents about us and that I do not want a long distance relationship any longer. Since he lost his job in December and I am now glued to my country due to my studies and other stuffuf, I suggested him to move to my country at least for a year or two.
As you can imagine, the hardest thing for him is to tell it to his parents, as they will most probably be against our relationship and maybe even disowe him. He is very connected to his family and would not like to loose them. I understand that, and I am willing to help him work on their acceptance of us.
My question: If he tells to his family, and moves to my country, what are the chances that he will firmlyly stay with me, and will not leave me even if his family putpressurere on him? He already did acst strangely once his family was around, and I don't want this to happen again. I do not mind forgetting the past mistakes he did, but I would like to know if an India guy, who received very traditional upbringing, could really change and be a good boyfriend and once a good husband too?
Please help me with your opinionon, whatever it is.

I am so grateful for all your answers here. My to be bf is in India now, and I told him that I expect him to tell his family bout us...so soon I will know if he will have guts to tell them, and if he wants to have a relationship with me.
It is sad to see world being devided uppon race and religion, instead of uniting. :(

Well you are right.. Indian men are brought up in a very traditional old fashioned way. Mostly all indians boys/girls hide their boy/girl friends from their parents! And even in this age majority of indians get married to one that their family/parents chose for them.
So if he didn't have enough courage to do it the first time, i doubt he'll leave his parents his country and com live with you.
Sorry.. but thats how i feel. If i were you, i wouldn't get involved any more.

as per your first question "Can an indian guy really change? "....my answer would be why only indian ?? anyone could change according to circuimstances.. look.his problem is he cant open up with his parents ( generally most young indians dont:; particularly in these affairs). and as you said he is very connective to his parents, if his parents do accept you then it would be very fine to go on...but if they dont ...u better break up with him...chances are fair that he might change after accepting u without his parents acceptance....

Being an Indian girl myself, I have first hand experience of Indian parent influence on relationships.

and I just want to put it out there that, Indians recieve very traditional upbringings because our parents just want the best future for us, and in their eyes they think that if they chose our life partner that it would make their children's lives better. not to mention, the parents were brought up this way too, so you cannot blame them.
however, because they are so strict for their child's improvement in life, they can be persuaded to adjust to different views if it shows that their child will be happier that way.
for example, when i told my parents i had a white bf, (i live in canada) they were disappointed, but the next day came to me and asked me to bring him to the house. and i did. he got gifts and they talked really well. so don't think it's hopeless, it's not!

and if he is willing to move to another country just for you, then I'm pretty sure he's going to firmly stay with you and his family will come around but it takes time. they were brought up like that for many years and it can't change in a matter of months.
and yes, indian men make good boyfriends, they're really committed. :)

good luck!

i'll tell you what...i'm an Indian guy born in south India and brought up in a sort of traditional way for a few years.. and my gf is from another caste too.. so i can relate a little to your problem... however.. my advise to you is.. if you both can get past the initial one year or so of marriage you'll be accepted into his family.. don't expect them to shower you with love though.

From what you said bout your bf... things will be tough for you.. guys who go from here to countries like the uk always change mostly for the better.. that's the side of them that the people there see.. however they tend to forget that on the other hand they are firmly tied down inside India and tend to be indecisive when it comes to matters like marriage.

An absolute first step for you should be to insist that he tell his folks about you if he wants to get back together with you.... maybe you can even try to get to know em.. they'll hate you for sure but hey maybe he's worth the effort.

all things said and done i rate the chances of his changing at a little above 20% if things go on this way. All this from a guy mind you ! lol all the best for your relationship.

Whoa, That was Longgg !! x)
Anyways, maybe if he tries. I am an Indian girl - 13 - Lol. But I do know stuff ! Um...usually they NEVER change. I live outside India. Brought up outside India. I know how they think. They usually get big heads when they move to the UK - I am in Africa, btw.
They are scared of their parents.
