The islands of South Asia
"Island South Asia" redirects here. For the broader region including Coastal South Asia, see
Littoral South Asia.
Insular South Asia is an ill-defined region, consisting of all islands in the Southern region of
Asia (covering both
South-central and
South-east Asia), including the islands from
Malay Archipelago.
[2] In another definition, it only includes the
South Asian islands in the
Indian Ocean, surrounding the mainland
Indian subcontinent. It was an important region during the initial European colonisation of
South Asia and
Southeast Asia.
