I'm writing a fic with a character who's Pseudo-Indian at the moment, and from what I can tell Durpar & Estagund are the Desi sort of areas, with maybe some smaller areas in the space towards Sempar et. all.
There's also the matter of the Gurs - based on the real life Roma, who seem to be depicted, as with their real life counterparts, as being quite Desi looking.
I'm also kind of interested if there are such thing as "untouchables" in the Realms. From what I can see it mainly happens to the Drow.

I don't think there is an eqivalant to untouchables in the realms, remember, same realms are influenced by real world cultures, but they are in no way simply copies with magic added on, these cultures have thier own history and influences beyond the real world starting point.
Drow really aren't seen as untouchables, you either see them as an elf or a monster, in India terms, untouchables don't get the respect any human being deserves, at least amoung some, but no one would confuse them with Monsters, unlike Drow. |
