As an Anglo-Indian myself I was SO excited that there was an Anglo-Indian character in my favourite books! We’re such as small culture on to our own, almost a sub-culture, not many people know about us. It felt SO good to be acknowledged. (I know this isn’t so relevant, but I needed to express haha)

That’s great to hear! It’s absolutely and totally relevant!

In truth, we know very little about the upbringing and life of this Anglo-Indian fictional character. I would hope that the way he is portrayed will be something Anglo-Indian ppl can embrace, but you may take it as a form of cultural appropriation, the way that David essentially becomes Anglo-Indian.
