If somebody thinks a Srilankan as an Indian, then again is it a matter of life or death? The Srilankan can always correct him. And inturn the Indian can apologise and continue the conversation.

We all are from Indian sub-continent and thus we all look so similar to each other.

Secondly I find a big mistake with your story TCOM. If somebody visits India majority of the people he is going to meet there are obviously Indians. Then what is the point in saying that he hasn't met any Indian? There are very few immigrants in India as the country itself is highly populated.

Everything's gonna be alright!!!
