In case you do not know, South Asia is an umbrella term used for the Indian subcontinent, it spans major landmasses from the countries of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. People from this region are also part of the growing diaspora across the world, especially in the West.
