=== Note on South Asia ===
{{Main|South Asia}}
Southern Asia is not to be confused with [[South Asia]], the former being a geographical [[subregion]] in Asia, and the latter usually signifying the geopolitical [[macroregion]] encompassing the [[SAARC]] countries (excluding [[Iran]] of Southern Asia). In the strictest/classical sense, South Asia is a political term which refers to the [[Indian subcontinent]], and often used interchangeably depending on context.<ref name=mcleodplus>John McLeod, ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=Y8Y3MH3dj6MC&pg=PA1 The history of India]'', page 1, Greenwood Publishing Group, 2002, {{ISBN|0-313-31459-4}}; note: McLeod does not include Afghanistan in Indian subcontinent or South Asia;<br />Jim Norwine & Alfonso González, ''The Third World: states of mind and being'', pages 209, Taylor & Francis, 1988, {{ISBN|0-04-910121-8}}<br />Raj S.

{{Main|Western Asia}}
