Yup, you're completely ignorant about that Orange region, Hindi is spoken. In fact 40% Indians speak Hindi.Do you think that I am completely unfamiliar with South Asia? Your map shows the prevalence of languages spoken. In that orange area, 100's of different ethnic groups and languages are spoken.
Lol, Indian is not an ethnicity but Arab is? Lol, caste and ethnicity are same? where? Scholarly works of Saudi University? My ethnicity is Urdu-Hindi-speaking or we say North Indian, and caste-baradari-surname is Shiekh which is a myriad of castes converged under Muslim rule, lol.There is no such thing as an "Indian" ethnicity. Indian is a 73 year old nationality. Modern-day Indians are some of the most diverse people on the planet who belong to 100's of different ethnic groups while speaking a similarly large number of different languages.
I am afraid that you are just embarrassed that you do not know which ethnicity you belong to. Your ancestors were most likely low caste Hindus who converted to Islam to leave the oppressive dynamic of Hindu society of the time. I have read scholarly work that talk about how most Indian Muslim converts are converts from the lowest castes in Northern India.
