What is "DESI" ? (only Indian u can call desi ) y?!


Question: "desh" refers to land formerly known as Hindustan. The Brits changed it to India. Since Pakistan & Bangladesh were also part of India at one time, some may refer to people from these countries as desis also but usually it refers to mainly Indians.

A "desi" is someone from India or a person of Indian descent. Indians refer to other Indians as "desi". It is pronouned "day see". It is not a derogatory term.

Like "desi chef" (Indian chef) for example!
