If India is in Asia do they classify as Asian?

Answer 1

India is an Asian country because in this sense we are talking about geography. In the same way Egypt is an African country and Russia can be considered an European country as well as an Asian country.

Racially it would depend on where you are from; the United States and Canada share a similar racial usage of the word Asian as opposed to the British.

Since Indians, Iranians, Egyptians, etc. are classified as Caucasoids by anthropologists, whereas Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, etc. are classified as Mongoloids by anthropologists, it would be improper to refer to a Chinese and an Indian as belonging to one Asian race. They are of two different races, and in typical usage, when referring to Asian, people are referring to THE Asian race. In the US and Canada, Asian refers to Mongoloids from Asia, such as people from East Asia and Southeast Asia. In Britain it is reversed, Chinese people are not being referred to by the word Asian in Britain, whereas an Indian is referred by the word. In the US and Canada, when people are talking about Asian people, they are not talking about Indians. Just like in the US and Canada, when people are talking about Africans, we are not talking about Egyptians.
