One example of how immigrants resisted the Americanization Movement is through the preservation of their native languages and cultural practices. Many immigrant communities established their own schools, newspapers, and social clubs that celebrated their heritage and provided support, countering the push to assimilate into mainstream American culture. Additionally, immigrants often held onto traditional customs, foods, and religious practices, creating enclaves that maintained their identity despite external pressures to conform. This resistance not only helped preserve their cultures but also contributed to the diverse tapestry of American society.
Bhakti movement and Arya Samaj movement are examples from India.
