SOME Indians think that they are "Indian" and make themselves look like jackasses on front of REAL Indians as they attempt to perpetrate this myth. In reality they are a Caribbean people, just a different version of being Caribbean than are the blacks who they lambaste as lacking a culture.
You know what druggie an African will respect me more than an Indian will respect you, because I am me and know who I am. You are pretending to be what you are not.
Druggie there is a book called "The Sly Company of People Who Care" written by Rahul Bhattacharya. Basically he spends most of the book laughing at Indo Guyanese. In fact I gather that Indian cricketers found Indo Guyanese females to be an easy piece of flesh, so desperate to be with some one direct for India. Of course these cricketers felt that no decent woman in India would behave like this.
You know nothing about the psych of Indo Guyanese. You are guessing that they believe themselves to be Indians from India. We know our identity and are not ashamed for propagating our culture after 100's of years removed from the motherland. This is pretty much the same for most Indians who migrated throughout the world, keeping their ancestral identity intact via religious practices, cultural practices and food.
