No.

Most forms of albinism are the result of the biological inheritance of genetically recessive alleles (genes) passed from both parents of an individual, though some rare forms are inherited from only one parent. There are other genetic mutations which are proven to be associated with albinism. All alterations, however, lead to changes in melanin production in the body.

The chance of offspring with albinism resulting from the pairing of an organism with albinism and one without albinism is low. However, because organisms can be carriers of genes for albinism without exhibiting any traits, albinistic offspring can be produced by two non-albinistic parents. Albinism usually occurs with equal frequency in both genders. An exception to this is ocular albinism, which it is passed on to offspring through X-linked inheritance. Thus, ocular albinism occurs more frequently in males as they have a single X and Y chromosome, unlike females, whose genetics are characterized by two X chromosomes.

There are two different forms of albinism; a partial lack of the melanin is known as hypomelanism, or hypomelanosis and the total absence of melanin is known as amelanism or amelanosis.

How can you motivate to Indian for keep pride of Indian culture and speard in other country?

If you yourself are Indian express your own ethnicity so that the person feels comfortable with it. Or, ask them to think about the fact that people will still view them as an Indian whether they embrace it or not. If they're doing it to fit in, honestly, if you don't try to fit in you will- because no one else tries. If they change themselve then people in the other country will tend to remain more cautious and have a disliking for them. If they are happy with out their culture it is their choice, but if not, they should remember (although it is a cliche) that everyone is themselves. P.S. What is speard? I couldn't figure that one out.
