Totally agree; I’ve been reserving “Indian” for people from India for the past 40+ years.
I used to get funny looks for it sometimes and people trying to correct me to say “East Indian” — to which my response was always “they’re Indian. Anyone from the West Indies could be called West Indian if they want, but these people aren’t from East India, they’re from India.”
