Besides the bad Indian accents reminiscent of Simpson's Apu, show makes it seem that creators just googled "Indian Stereotypes" and made sure to weave every single one of them into the story. Actual quote from the show - "My Nani Ji says that spices have cure to all ailments!"
If the target audience is Indian-American kids, creators have completely missed the mark and are actually doing a disservice to the young minds. When I heard the characters I felt that they were trying to make fun in Indian accents but chalked it to me being overly sensitive. Then my kids(born in US) asked me if everyone in India has such funny accent?
