By the grace of Vishnu, we are describing Stereotypical South Asian English here! This is a National Stereotype trope that is becoming a Discredited Trope. As immigration from South Asian countries such as India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh to the United States increased in the latter half of the 20th century, their presence in media started to increase as well. But early on, there weren't many South Asian actors or writers in Hollywood to correctly emulate Indian English, so Stereotypical South Asian English was born. It has to be noted here that the USA was late to the party with regards to Asian immigration. The first trickle of immigrants into Britain from the Indian subcontinent can be traced back to the late 1700's, and curry afficionados need to be reminded that the very first dedicated Indian restaurant opened in London in the 1870's. note "Indian" was defined then as "pertaining to British India" - Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka had yet to emerge. Therefore, the British relationship with its former colonial possession goes back a long way further, and "Indian" stereotypes have been part of British media for a long, long, time. Mass immigration into Britain from Asia began in the 1950's, the time when radio and TV were the dominant media, and up to eleven depictions happened almost immediately. |
