The biggest thing any of us can actually do: be racist.
That store with the "black owned business" sign on it, or in OPs case Indian-run business? Avoid. Don't buy anything there, don't recommend it to friends, leave a bad review - or at least a worse review than otherwise. But it's a mom and pop store? Too bad. Go out of your way, pay more, or find other ways to favor your people.
That doesn't mean be shitty to other peoples to their face - in fact just the opposite. Be nice and pleasant and then metaphorically knife them in the back.
In better times you could listen to your heart and your compassion, but we're clearly facing an orchestrated global campaign to destroy our culture and life and we have to respond like the existential threat it is. I can tell you it doesn't come natural to me to discriminate and be tribal, it's not in my bones, but it's what must be done.
