Am I correct in my understanding that the Indian people, as a race, are considered "Asian".
Presuming I have that correct can some explain to me why, the indian heritage and culture to my foreign eyes seems very distinct from other Asian cultures.
Is it a term Indians themselves use to describe themselves? If so do Indians feel a closer tie to other Asian countries than they do say, Pakistan? I assume of course Pakistanis dont describe themselves as Asian...
@freemo Indians and Pakistanis are essentially the same. We weren't aware that we are Indians and Pakistani till the Brits broke us up and left. 
And yes, we are all usually considered South Asians. Further east is South East Asians.

The brits didn't divide willing, the Islamist leaders from the present Pakistan insisted they must go.
