This article examines the bicultural identity formation and cultural experiences internalized by second-generation Indo-Canadians in their efforts to accommodate the "best of both worlds" into their lifestyle. The objectives of this article are to educate the reader to become cognizant of the bicultural issues encountered by second-generation Indo-Canadians; to demonstrate interventions suitable for the second-generation Indo-Canadian populations; and to increase the readers' understanding of bicultural identity formation. What becomes evident is that intergenerational dialogue has a profound impact on the bicultural identity formation of this population. It will serve to guide these individuals to find a third space (Bhabha 2004) or zone of proximal development (ZPD) to encourage evolvement of their bicultural identity (Cummins 1996; Gutiérrez et al. 1999).
本文探讨了第二代印度裔加拿大人在努力将“两全其美”融入其生活方式的过程中形成的双文化身份认同以及内化的文化体验。本文的目的是教育读者认识第二代印度裔加拿大人所面临的双文化问题；展示适用于第二代印度裔加拿大人群的干预措施；并增进读者对双文化身份认同形成的理解。显而易见的是，代际对话对这一人群的双文化身份认同形成有着深远的影响。它将引导这些个体找到一个第三空间（霍米·巴巴，2004年）或近发展区（ZPD），以鼓励其双文化身份认同的演变（卡明斯，1996年；古铁雷斯等人，1999年）。
