Is the Middle East part of Asia?
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.
