Heh, one frustu uncle in a WhatsApp group randomly scolded a young woman, "Stop calling it eggplant. This is India. Call it brinjal. 😡"
It's like these dudes are looking for the tiniest reason to assert faux patriotism.

He's not a sanghi. He's one of those uncles who randomly gets upset at American English usage by Indians. One of those people who proudly calls himself "grammar Nazi" like it's a good thing.
Why did Siraj Ud Daula obsess over making the perfect eggplant before fighting Clive?
Cos well begun is half the battle won.

Oh he was okay with aubergine too. British English is okay for him.
He is one of those Desi uncles who randomly get senti that 21st century Indian English uses a lot more Americanisms than 80s India when everything was British British British.

He also gets very annoyed every Halloween if someone in India celebrates it. Tho he loves new years Eve, Valentine's day, watches almost exclusively American TV, and pays thousands for any phoren concert in Mumbai. But Halloween & eggplant are too much.
