Russell Peters callling himself means he's saying he's of origin in India. It's not East Indian as known in Mumbai. His family, I believe, came from Kolkata, and he grew up in Brampton. Those who want to know should read his biography. He now lives in Loa Angeles, and is very rich to have donated a big sum (perhaps a million) to his school in Brampton. Once he was quite poor and a strugglng stand-up comic.
