They could keep the character without using his accent as a punchline (don't know if they do or don not, I don't watch of The Simpsons) ? Or they could introduce a new (or several) Indian character(s) ? But the first solution seems better because, like the OP, I bet there're fans that are very attached to him. It'd be unfair to deprive them of a beloved character just because people working on The Simpsons couldn't take a legitimate concern/critic.

Even if you change the way that the character functions in future episodes, he's still affected by the ~20 years of episodes where his accent was a punchline, isn't he?

I mean I don't think it matters much either way because the earlier episodes are the ones that people actually watch so it's largely a symbolic gesture. But if people are justified in being offended at the way that the character was written, I don't see how the character can really be reclaimed at that point.

Characters can develop and change over time, if the people writing them wish them to do so. I'm also not sure about the logic of this, because it almost sounds like you're implying there's no point in changing anything even if you have good reason to... and that's pretty silly. It does not apply to TV shows, which make plenty of changes all the time.

Yep! Apu's brother Sanjay and his family, which consist of himself, his daughter Pahusacheta, and his son Jamshed. There's also Kavi who's Apu's cousin.
