Indian telenovellas (also dubbed Turkish telenovellas for some reason) are big business in South Africa in part because we have a pretty large "indian" population and the stories are culturally relatable to Africans unsurprisingly: evil Mother-in-law and sister-in-law battle with resilient wife, clever wife managing a falling household, struggles with pregnancy, etc...theres a market there that locally priduced content cannot fill due to the local industry being thoroughly underfunded.
No need to put in quotes. South Africa has an Indian population of around 1.6m. Durban is one of the largest Indian-populated cities outside of India.
I would argue you are more your lineage than your nationality. See how we track various groups migration across the world, thousands of miles, thousands of years, with no problem.
But at the same time, I don't consider myself very aligned with my own lineage, and I describe myself as 100% "American". But, given enough time, if my bones were to be put on display a few hundred years from now, with all written record of me being lost, I would probably be referred to as something a bit different than what I declare as myself.
