The Bay Area is the most integrated major metropolitan area in the United States. The Bay Area WILL definitely (and easily) live up to your expectations. There's a little bit of something there for everyone.
Just one major problem is that its expensive as hell.

Yea but I wanna know about the Indian population there.
Is it more like the Indian population that never assimilates or anything or is it more progressive?
Anyways if it is the clan type Indian population, would it in any way affect me?

Haha I attempted to live in the Bay Area at one point, and lasted about 4 months there. I have family there, nearly all my cousins from my moms side of the family live in San Jose, California.
The Bay Area with Asian Indians is very multicultural, you will have the Indians that stick only to their group (as they do in every city) but you will find how common it is to see Asian Indian people associating with other groups there as well. It's very common.

I will say this from both personal interpretation and from a international view, there are very few places in the country that can match up to the Bay Area in this regard.
There's just a lot of beneficial factors involved, good catering to a young crowd, very efficient lifestyle, very integrated, very multicultural, a lot of great venues to meet and greet.
One thing though, its fast paced compared to Southern California. But that shouldn't be a problem though, right?

True, but how big are stereotypes in that area?
Like how often will girls think "Oh he is Indian, probably smells like curry and stuff, lets not bother". I heard that is pretty big in So Cal, what about the bay?

Stereotypes, common in some peoples minds. But Bay Area is pretty good here, Asian Indians are in a large abundance and have been so for generations to where stereotypes if they historically did exist have been long washed away from the general perception of a Asian Indian person.
The Bay Area is very Asian friendly, and especially Asian Indian friendly. It's really a cross roads for multiculturalism, and the fact that its the most integrated metropolitan area and also the most racially diverse metropolitan area, really shows a lot for it.

Okay so basically:
- won't run into any flak for being an Indian
- being Indian won't stop me from getting with girls
I think it all depends on who you mix with and your personality. I have a lot of family in the bay area. Quite of mix of etnic groups and inter-etnic dating. I'm sure if you have a personality and are a somewhat attractive guy you will have no problems.
