Which is the correct sentence? 'I am an Indian' or 'I am Indian'.
Actually, both of them.I am an Indian-Here Indian works as a noun wherein you are specifying your ethnicity, your origin and your nativity. I am Indian-Here Indian works like an adjective because you are specifying your behavioral pattern and your attitudes towards your atmosphere. This statement perhaps should follow or be followed by another clause, so as to tell in what respect you are "Indian".Example:Indian as a noun:Just because I'm an Indian, it does not have to follow that I am a Vegetarian. Indian as an adjective:She's quite Indian in her dressing sense.
Is this English sentence correct “I am an Indian who is currently learning English”?
I’m going to address just the first four words in your sentence: I am an Indian. You have used “Indian” as a noun. This is usually not done in English UNLESS for dramatic emphasis. Nationalities are adjectives so they are not typically preceded by a/an/the (what we call “articles,” our smallest adjectives) unless the nationality is followed by a noun: I am a Polish citizen. In this example, “citizen” is the noun while “Polish” gives us more information about the citizen. Here are other adjectives: I am happy; I am hungry; he is late; she is tall; I am Irish, Scottish, Russian, and German; he is French; she is English; they are Canadian; I think he is Chinese. Nationalities are just one type of adjective, and adjectives are the words we use to modify (give more information about) NOUNS. In the above examples, including yours, all of the adjectives are called predicate adjectives simply because of their locations in their sentences.

When you get down from a moving train, you risk your life. (You need a comma after the introductory phrase.) Mohan knows better than I. (You need "I" because the complete sentence, with the implied words, ends with "better than I do.") He has command of the English language. ("In" is not appropriate here.) He spoke haltingly. He stopped after each word. (The word "after" correctly states this idea. Presumably, he also stopped after the last word, so "between" does not apply.) I consider Ram the better of the two. (Use "better" when comparing two things. Use "best" only when comparing three or more.) I would do it if permitted. (Correct as is. However, the complete sentence, including the implied words, is "I would do it if I were permitted.) When you pass, I shall congratulate you. ("Will" doesn't belong here.) You may depend on us to do our best. I asked him if he had met us before. (You need the present perfect to indicate that an action occured at some time before the present.)
