Majumdar (portrait - interview), a noted Indian historian has said that "... although it is difficult to accept, the Indians totally lacked the historical sense".

South Asia. South Asia or Southern Asia is the southern region of the Asian continent, which comprises the sub-Himalayan countries and, for some authorities, also includes the adjoining countries to the west and the east.
Topographically, it is dominated by the Indian Plate, which rises above sea level as the Indian subcontinent south of the Himalayas and the Hindu Kush. South Asia is bounded on the south by the Indian Ocean and on land (clockwise, from west) by West Asia, Central Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. Different sources vary in their statements of which nations are part of the region. For example, according to the United Nations geographical region classification,[2] Southern Asia comprises the countries of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Iran, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
Definitions[edit] Various definitions of South Asia. The British Indian Ocean Territory is connected to the region by a publication of Jane's for security considerations.[19] Geography[edit] RISA Bibliography Archive. The following are bibliographies complied by RISA-L subscribers.

ShowIntroduction :: RUSSIA Panel - Collapsed Founded in the 12th century, the Principality of Muscovy was able to emerge from over 200 years of Mongol domination (13th-15th centuries) and to gradually conquer and absorb surrounding principalities.
In the early 17th century, a new ROMANOV Dynasty continued this policy of expansion across Siberia to the Pacific.

During the 19th century, more territorial acquisitions were made in Europe and Asia.
