Question: What is South Asia? Name the countries in it.

Answer: South Asia is the southernmost part of Asia, characterized both geographically and ethnographically. India, Pakistan, Nepal, Afghanistan,  Maldives, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh are all part of the region.

The Indian Plate dominates the topography, which is mostly defined by the Indian Ocean on the south and the Himalayas, Karakoram, and Pamir ranges on the north.

A portion of the country’s northwest boundary is formed by the Amu Darya River, whose headwaters are located to the north of the Hindu Kush.

On the land, South Asia is bounded to the west by Western Asia, to the north by Central Asia, to the east by East Asia, and to the southeast by Southeast Asia.
