India is literally part of Asia. How else would you describe it?

I prefer the maximalist perspective: France is West Asia.

		Australia is its own continent, at least as we reckon them in the US. So, no, that's not Asia. I suppose Israel is technically part of Asia, but of course we always refer to that area as the Middle East. But India... that's either South Asia or just Asia.

Huh? South-asia is more than just india. Just like all of the other cardinal directions that refer to different geographical regions within asia. Why can't it be a part of Asia?
