Are indigenous and Indians the same?

Indigenous peoples refer to the original inhabitants of a region, often with distinct cultures, languages, and histories, and can be found in various parts of the world. In the context of India, "Indians" encompasses a broader identity that includes people from various ethnic, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds within the country. While some Indigenous groups exist within India, not all Indians are Indigenous, and the terms are not synonymous. Thus, while there is overlap, they represent different concepts.
