'Indianness'

I have a justified peeve. I am Indian-born, I live in India, and thankyou, but, no, let not the Net confuse me with 'Red-Indian', 'American-Indian' or 'native-American Indian'. Will we need to copyright our nativity? Or will we soon have labels that read Asian-Indian or India-Indian? As it is, if i google 'Indian xxxxx' I end up bemusedly looking at mixed results...

  1. Why do we repeatedly allow ourselves to be defined by others ->
    India -> Land of the people along the Indus valley - did spoonerism make Sindu - Indus?

    Hindus -> H + Indus? Linguistically decided at somebody's desk?
