- South Asia India Hindustan closer to middle east or rest of asia?
Pakistan and Afghanistan are in fact included in the term "greater middle east" since the transition from Middle East and Central Asia into South Asia proper takes place here The Iranic nature of Afghanistan and western Pakistan make this connection natural, and various historical Empires have connected these lands to the Middle East (Think Achaemenids, Ghaznavids etc )
