Usage of word Indian

Indira (Querist) 26 January 2011 This query is : Open
If the word is used in such a way by a non-indian,that it affects any self respecting indian,can the action be stopped from?

To be clear,the word " Injun" in Mark twain's classics is being replaced by the word "Indian" by an American author.He means Native Americans.My question is can the word be used in general(as my understanding is the word indian means person of indian origin only).Is this legal? Can any action be taken agst the proposed change?
