The term West Indies or West Indian has NOTHING to do with India or people from India. It goes back to when Columbus landed in the Caribbean, he thought he was in India somewhere. Most of the people in the "West Indies" are decendenta of African slaves, mixed with Europeans and native American "Indians".
