Columbis did NOT think he had landed in India.
In 1492 the country now known as India was named Hindustan.
The term Indian comes from his description of the indiginees as "en dios" - in god....
If you are gonna bitch about history - get the story right.
This is a myth. Many people, long before Columbus, referred to people of the Indian Subcontinent as Indians. Columbus long thought he had reached the Indies, and to his dying day thought he had gotten close to China. There's no evidence to suggest that the 'en dios' theory is correct. There's a reason they call it the West Indies, you know.
