Talk:Danny Bhoy

message: It'd be nice to see a comment on his name and it's similarity to the famous Scottish song. Is Danny Bhoy his real full name? enquiring minds want to know! 150.101.153.214 03:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

message: First fo all: In this day and age, members of Canada's aboriginal communities and First Nations' communities no longer refer to themselves as Indians. 
On the other hand, among Indians who come from the South Asian state, the term, East Indian, refers to the descendants of the earliest converts to Roman Catholicism in the Konkan coast area. 
In Canada, on the other hand, it's usually citizens of Punjabi origin who call themselves East Indians, in order to distinguish themselves from the First Nations, particularly in the Western provinces of BC and Alberta. 
Hence, it is inaccurate to refer to Danny Bhoy as East Indian because, in fact, he is a Scotsman whose father was from India. It would be more correct to say he is Indo-Scottish.
Besides, the East Indies did not necessarily stand for India even in the era of great shipbuilders and explorers. It actually pointed to Indonesia and its surrounding areas at a time the world was still being discovered by Western Europe.
Nevertheless, for the time being, Canada is probably the only country in which a minority classification is being erroneously used to describe almost anyone of Indian origin.

message: I removed the birth date because we were given evidence that it was incorrect. However, it was in the form of an official document, which we cannot use. If a reliable secondary source can be found with the correct date, that would be best. Otherwise it's best not to have a birth date at all. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 03:09, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know why Danny chose the surname Bhoy?  I came here looking for that information, as well as the British/Gaelic folklore reference maybe it has some Indian significance?  Strange that it is not mentioned. 01:59, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
