>> black activists such as Adam Clayton Powell, Sr., and Benjamin Mays were enthralled by the phenomenon of an Indian leading people of color in the campaign against British colonialism in India.

Is the writer calling Indians "people of color"

Is that incorrect? Wikipedia says:

The term "person of color" (plural: people of color, persons of color; sometimes abbreviated POC)[1] is used primarily in the United States to describe any person who is not white.

I'm not from the US myself and so am not greatly acquainted with how it's usually employed.

Aren't they? Isn't POC just another term for "not white"?
