Your opinions please?

What is the difference between a Indian, Desi, and an ABCD? Just your opinion pls. Also, if you wouldn't mind tell me where you are living and what you consider yourself to be. Thank you.

Update:

I'm talking about Asian Indians...and perhaps this question should be directed towards them.

    Indian desi is a true desi ( desi - means person living in Indian sub-continent)

    ABCD ( America born confused desi)

    Indian refers to the citizens of India and Desi is used to refer to Indians and ABCD are the first four letters of English language..

    but since you have used an ABCD may its the name..

    Are you talking about a Native American or actual Indian? And what's a Desi and an ABCD? I can't very well answer your question when I don't know what you're asking.

    Indians means Indian nationals living in India and abroad,

    Desi means Indians living in India only,

    ABCD means first four letters of English Alphabet and may be a code-word discovered by you to recognise any sect or type of Indians (may not be)

    The hindi word 'des' means nation. So 'desi' means related to des/ nation (India). As Hindi in national language of India, 'desi' term means typical Indian.

    The term 'ABCD' is used to taunt people who show off too much that they are able to speak English !!
