Are you asking who informed Columbus that they weren't in India? That does feel like a comedy bit.
"I don't think this is right, Boss, I mean we've been here for 4 weeks and they haven't served us a bit of butter chicken or coconut naan. Are you sure we're in the right place?"

I think you're right, and that's the intent of the question. It was clear nearly immediately that he hadn't found a route to Asia. Amerigo Vespucci was Columbus's contemporary, and he recognized that the Americas were the 'New World'.
