Indian people or Indians are people who are citizens of India, which forms a major part of South Asia, containing 17% of the world's population, the second largest ethnic group in the world. The Indian nationality consists of many regional ethno-linguistic groups, reflecting the rich and complex history of India. India, in its current boundaries, was formed out of a number of predecessors. Because he thought he had found a sea route to India instead of discovering the Americas, Christopher Columbus was mistaken when he thought Native Americans were Indians.
