I knew in the back of my head "India" can't be an "Indian" name because I know their language does not function that way. May be an Arab name, as well. The suffix "-ia" is a tradition that originates from the Middle East, to my knowledge. Doesn't hurt to correct stupid human errors if possible, does it?What's your point? Names are names...."America" is named after a guy who mapped another continent and had nothing to do with the continent that the USA is located on.
There are the East Indies and the West Indies.....(You can blame that on Amerigo Vespucci)
My birth cerificate says "Caucasian" and I have never been on the same continent as the Caucasus area.
I have been called "Anglo-Saxon" along with all others of european descent, although I am not an Angle nor a Saxon...(those oppressors of Celts).
My second home, here in western NC, is minutes from tribal land...and I have no problem if the Cherokee want to refer to themselves as "indian".
India's official name (in their constitution) is "bharat".....I have no problem with Bharatians calling themselves "Indians"...although I have never heard a person from India refer to themselve so....
