Yes, but the Muslims invaded India (and a bunch of other places) centuries ago and introduced the name; there's a couple of famous people from the Kerala region named Basheer. Plus, Julian's dad was played by Brian George (AKA Seinfeld's Babu Bhatt, plus a bunch of other Southeast Asian characters) doing an Indian accent, and Julian's mom has a Tamil name (Amsha).

But Brian George is a Mizrahi (Jewish Arab).
