Shakira is not Indian, she's Columbian!
Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll was born in Barranquilla, Colombia, South America to a Colombian mother, Nidia del Carmen Ripoll Torrado and an American born father of Lebanese descent, William Mebarak Chadid.
Her heritage is a mixture of Colombian, U.S., Lebanese, Italian, and Spanish. She is a true multicultural individual. She says of herself, “I am a blend of several cultures. Through my veins runs Spanish, Lebanese and Italian blood. All of this heritage is a strong influence on the character of my music."

No she isn't Indian. She is Columbian, but her name is Arabic. Her name may be giving you the idea she is Indian.

No, she is not...she is from Colombia (Barranquilla) and her father is originally from Lebanon... are we talking about the same Shakira?

She's a Latina. It's possible she has some indian in her as she is of mixed heritage, a.k.a. a mestiza.
