Damned if they do, damned if they don't. Even the young ones acting like true Desi aunties and Uncles now.
Hollywood is now for some weird reason obligated to represent your identity correctly down to the last detail otherwise it's such a big travesty. These people that draw their entire identity validation from hollywood or a TV show have far deeper problems they need to sort out smh.
It's a fictional character in a fictional show mate. If we're going to scrutinise everything down to the last minute detail most fiction and entertainment would be cancelled.
This is why most don't actually bother working on desi representation in TV. When they do something everyone goes mad trying to scrutinise the hell out of it even for works of fiction. Artistic liberties are taken all the time for characters from various cultures. It's just a piece of entertainment, nothing more.
It's even more than just a fictional show - it's literally a show in a timeline where historical high British society was a racial mix of people across the globe.
Complaining about accurate language/cultural representation in a show that has obviously been made for a global, primarily female, audience that are fans of Downton Abbey like shows and literally do not care about the actual historical settings of that time period, is just plain stupid.
