The Middle East is a subregion of Asia. I assume by Asian you mean East Asia.

India is not a part of the Middle East or East Asia. It's in its own subregion: South Asia. It can be also referred to as the Indian subcontinent but can be offensive to Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Nepalese, Sri Lankans, and Bhutanese people because you would be using the name of a country (India) to refer to a region that is more than just India. For this reason you should use the term South Asia instead of Indian Subcontinent.

The Middle East is mostly in Asia, although Egypt is considered part of the Middle East, which is an African country. The Greater Middle East, which is an expansion of the Middle East by G8 standards, includes all of North Africa, parts of the Horn of Africa, and Afghanistan and Pakistan in addition to the traditional Middle East.

No. It is part of South Asia which also includes Pakistan Bangladesh Afghanistan. Geologically also, the Indian continental shelf is distinctly different from the middle eastern one.
