How about simply "Indians" for Indians from India? Then American Indians
can be called "Red Indians". Alternatively, "deshis" may be a good term.
Or "janta", used on India campuses to mean "people" or "friends". What's
nice about "janta" is the friendly "slap-on-the-back" kind of feeling it
conveys. And, since it is a Hindi word, it need refer only to Indians.

Non-Indians? How about "firangis" or "angrezis"?
