I think if it wasn't India I'd have an issue because alabasta was inspired from both Egypt and India. The inspiration for alabasta the nation is primarily Egypt, but the inspiration for the capital of Alabasta is India. This picture is Jodhpur India, part of the inspiration.
an entire island that was based on middle eastern & north african cultures (with egypt being named as an inspiration) and is called ARABasta having their live action citizens being cast as south asians (you know, a completely different ethnicity that isn’t even similar) is insane
