What about the English language—you can’t get more “colonial” than that.

This could be fun to watch....

If they stop being Indians from India, can our Native Americans become Indians again?

I think population wise India has now passed China as the largest country on the planet.

Hindia, the land of the follower of the Hindu religion? I can understand how Hindia became India, but I cannot figure out how India became a slave name.

I am willing to call that country Bharat but I want to call our indigenous peoples Indians again.

Can the Cleveland baseball team become the Indians again?
