Not all Indians speak Hindi, and very few non-Indians can tell the difference between a Hindi-English accent and English accents of people from India whose native language is not Hindi. That said, the stereotyped Indian accent is the Hindi-English accent. With things like V-W confusion, stressed R-sounds, and inability to express the Zee-sound (a soft J-sound is used instead, example Jebra (zebra) or Jero (zero)).

Which doesn't alter the fact that the word you responded to had a one character difference between what the poster said and 'Hindi'. And Hindi is spoken by a large number of Indians and as you pointed out the accent differences mean little to someone not familiar with the different languages.

I don't disagree, I've noticed that a lot of non-Indians, specially in the US, mix up Hindi, Hindu, etc. and use them interchangeably with Indian.

It's his new caller-id, shows religion and sexual orientation of the caller based on accent :-)

Probably a wrong number, since it's very unlikely that I'll ever directly call you without having you go through 2 levels of my personal secretaries coming into play. :-D
