but just moving forward, if you're not Indian, and you're writing an Indian character, please remember this when you're naming the character. Don't just pick a name that sounds good, the name has to make sense w/ the background you've given the character.
Some day I'm going to write a thing for you all on Indian names and how they signify so many things to other Indians (North Indians at least, I can't really speak to South India)

Names have meaning. They have history. They tell us who we are and where we come from. The first step of colonization is to erase the heritage and culture of indigenous people. Advising someone against giving their child a “foreign name” is deeply racist and problematic.
