I think it is like anything else. THe more you hear it, the better you understand it. There have been some people I have spoken with and some do have a stronger accent.

Guest (above). . . yes East Indian = Indians from India. The reason it's called East Indian is because we are not Asians (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.) and not Native Americans; also called Indians.

Being East Indian but born in the US, I find any accent thats hard to understand a bit annoying but it's true most foreigners try to be as fluent as possible.
