      east indian is INDIAN, nothing to do with pakistanis, if u group the 2 then they wud be called south asians

      west indians are INDIANS that were taken from india a few hundred years ago as slaves and taken to the CARIBBEAN and after a few hundred years they mixed their INDIAN culture with british and african culture


      now if u compare the 2 , the big differences are indians are highly educated and traditional while west indians are more liberal and less educated

        north Indian is the NORTH PART Of INDIA
        and south indian is South part of INDIA

        the reason there is divide is there was a theory that NORTH is ARYAN and SOUTH is dravidian cuz north indians are very fair like spanish people and SOUTH are dark like dark chocolate BUT it was proved that all of india is the dravidian race so aryan theories are incorrect

        its like saying EAST coast americans and WEST coast americans

        but india has much more rich culture make MUCH WIDER differences like languages

        south indian language is derived around tamil
        north indian language is derived around sanskrit

            My wife moved from New Delphi when she was 15. To this day she will refer to dark skinned Indians as south indians when she sees them.

              thx for the responses so far guys! i'm asking because i'm working on a mainstream project with pakistan girls, caribbean girls, trinidad/tobago girls.

              so it would be safe to label the pakistan girls EAST Indian and the caribbean & trinidad/tobago girls WEST Indian, correct? or should i label them as caribbean?

                  man, this is confusing.... ok.....

                  i have the categories 'black' & 'east indian' so far.... now...

                  trinidad/tobago girls don't really suit any of these 2 categories so i'm trying to create another category for them.... perhaps 'caribbean'? but then blacks like jamacians suit this category too....

                    As far as I'm concerned the difference lies on the way they strike the bols on the tabla drum ...

                          if u ask me, id name pakistani girls as PAKISTANI or Muslim Girls,

                          Its like saying Swedish girls are the same as DANISH GIRLS just because they are white and geographically close.

                          If the Girls from teh Caribbean are really BROWN SKinned like girls in bollywood are, then call them West indians

                            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".

                              ur correct with the NAME ITSELF "WEST INDIES", but now MODERN DEF'N of west indians are described as COOLIES (Indians in the Caribbean)

                              ok, ill just add some stuff on ur lil blurb...

                              A decade after slavery was abolished in 1834, the British government gave permission for the colonians to import indentured labour from India to work on the plantations. Throughout the remainder of the century, Trinidad's population growth came primarily from East Indian laborers. By 1871, there were 27,425 East Indians, approximately 22 percent of the population of Trinidad and Tobago; by 1911 that figure had grown to 110,911, or about 33 percent of all residents of the islands. According to the 2000 census there were 250,760 Hindus in T&T contributing 22.49% of the total population and 56.19% of the population of the Indo-Caribbeans.

                                if your site will be promoted to Indians then label Indian/pakistani girls as Indian
                                not east Indian
                                what the hell is east indian....Indians will ask themselves
                                If west Indian girls are fair (unlikely) label them as Indian as well
                                rest west indian
