>good protagonist
Because you can only pick one of those two. Indian characters run on orientalistic stereotype. And stereotypes for Indians are hardly making them sympathetic, not to mention competent. Meanwhile, their own culture image of perfect protagonist is a fucking Mary Sue with massive mustache - just read any of their epics or pretty much anything made after them.

Long story short - you would have to make a character that breaks stereotypes and is not made according to Indian standards. Cue instant "BUT THAT'S SJW!", since your brain just registered "not a stereotype".

Besides, there is more than just ethnicity that makes a character. And the sad truth about Indian characters is that ethnics is all they've got as their defining trait

They're too busy hating white people. I just finished watching Aziz Ansari's new show on netflix, and he's used the term white as an insult in almost every episode

More like Pootugal
>>
>>318732096
Technically Aladdin is more Arabian, since it comes from the book Arabian (1001) nights (might of been written by a racist westerner), but for some reason Disney used more of India's/Pakistanis Muslim golden age era architecture.
>>
>>318734471
What the fuck?

Why does the cartoon make it look so obviously like it's set in an Arabian country?
>>
>>318734471

Maybe the original tale, but Disneys film is clearly set in Arabia.

The narrator literally sings "Arabian niiights" in the intro of the film

too busy raping

>>318734378
>>318734585
The original story is set in China, you dumb fuck. It was equally dumb Westerners who heard the premise and that it was part of the Arabian Nights fables, so they've switched the setting into Arabian one.
It's set in fucking China.
