I probably wouldn't convert, no. I'm not going to sacrifice everything I stand for.
That's the attitude!

Is that just your preference?
Yeah normally.

Oh that's good. Don't asian parents usually persuade / convince you to get married to person with the same faith?

ok would you still drink his chai?
Nope. I'm a Muslim woman and I wasn't expected to deconvert when I married my husband who is a white atheist. Therefore I didn't expect him to convert to Islam either and he wouldn't have done anyway. what really matters in a marriage is mutual respect, understanding and love, not what you both believe will happen when you die.

I'm mixed race myself so it would be fairly hypocritical on my dad's part to stop me from marrying a non Indian
My dad's fairly chilled as a Hindu like I am. Asian parents (esp Hindu ones) try to convince their kids to marry other Hindus for cultural reasons rather than religious ones because nobody has to convert if they marry a Hindu and I don't think there's anywhere in the holy book which stops interfaith marriage 
My cousin was disowned because she married a white Jewish American though :I

Honestly, it speaks volumes of a parent if they disown their kid for marrying someone of a different faith. If they disowned their own kid over that then they don't deserve to be a parent.

True. Then again my cousin did marry a Catholic and did convert to Islam by his choice but when his father will pass away (serious illness) the Catholic Church won't let him attend his funeral because he's not Catholic.

Agree 100000000000%
It's so stupid how much bearing religion has on whether two people can be together. Religion separates people more than anything else.

Damnn. My cousin and her husband have a pretty happy marriage. All 3 of their kids are being raised Hindu and Jewish.

That's a unique and very nice mix! That's good but sometimes it doesn't work out I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Love requires sacrificing things so it would be a fail for you.

Sacrifice is in no way a requirement for love, much less the sacrifice of one's most important beliefs so the failure is yours.

But isn't it always, in your world, one partner who has do all the sacrificing while the other partner just keeps taking? If I was that partner who does all the sacrificing for the scumbag/cow I married - that would be a fail for me.
Love is a relationship where each partner gives and receives, and there is mutual respect and concern for each other.
If one is the overlord and the other a slave, love has clearly departed from this relationship.
