Answer 1

Indian.

If its not in the choices, Asian.

Answer 2

India is a country in South Asia, they have to be Asians

Answer 3

The term 'ethnic' specifically refers to the race to which you belong like Aryan, Dravidian, Mongol, ***** and the like. These cannot be equated with one's nationality.like Indian, or Burmese etc. In India alone there are several ethnic groups co-habiting.  It is indecent to ask about such details, nowadays. The application,  I am afraid, is a bad modification of an earlier practice. I think it is better to mention one's  nationality in that column.

Answer 4

Don't answer.  The sooner we quit giving this sort of ridiculous thinking any credence, the sooner it will go away.

You are human.  Any finer differentiation is just window dressing, and irrelevent.

Answer 5

I think it's Asian too.

Answer 6

East Indians are considered to be Asian.

Answer 7

Indian.  Write it in if you wish.
