Childhood

How is someone "born Indian", and is their Indian-ness likely to change at some point? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.220.8.91 (talk) 02:11, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Indian or East Indian father?

User:Beo34 prefers to describe Hannah Simone's father as "East Indian" rather than "Indian". Beo34 reverted my revert of this edit, suggesting we should refer to East India (disambiguation):

  • "East Indians is a term used in North America to refer [to] Indian people, or people from the Indian subcontinent in general, in order not to confuse them with American Indians."

Do we call indigenous peoples of the Americas "Indians" in Wikipedia? How likely is it that "Indian" will be misunderstood in this context? Because here's the problem:

  • "East India is a region of India consisting of the states of West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Orissa."
  • "East Indians, a Marathi-speaking, Roman Catholic ethnic group in Mumbai."

Do we have sources that say Hannah Simone's father is from that region, or that ethnic group? If not, rather than clarifying, we have introduced a point of confusion into the article. "East Indian" is actually more ambiguous than the correct use of "Indian". – Wdchk (talk) 02:27, 17 February 2014 (UTC)


In North America, the term 'Indian' is often used to refer to Aboriginal peoples as well as to Indians from South Asia. For instance, in Canada, "East Indian" is used to refer to South Asian Indians (http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/89-621-x/89-621-x2007004-eng.htm), the government of Canada identifies Indians from India as East Indians.
East India (disambiguation)

  • East Indians is a term used in North America to refer Indian people, or people from the Indian subcontinent in general, in order not to confuse them with American Indians.

Indo-Canadians

  • The terms East Indian and South Asian are used to distinguish people of ancestral origin from India, from the First Nations peoples of Canada who are often referred to as Indian, and from the people of the Caribbean, who are sometimes referred to as West Indian.

In the UK where there is a significant South Asian "Indian" population, the term Indian is less ambiguous. However, in North America, the term Indian is more ambiguous or confusing term, as the term "Indian" is often used to refer to Indigenous Americans.– Beo34 (talk), 17 February 2014 —Preceding undated comment added 02:46, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
