South Asian Books
A list to help those who aspire to read from authors outside the typical areas. I will be creating different list for different regions. I will also list the countries currently found in the list. Be sure to check out the other lists! Note: The countries are not perfect as some countries are classified differently, so I did my best.
Current Countries: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand

Hi, this looks like an interesting list, but I think the term you are looking for is Southeast Asia, not South Asia (which refers to Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka (and sometimes Afghanistan)) Also I saw you made a list called Central/West Asian books and I think you should also know that Central Asia usually refers to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) while West Asia refers to what is usually known as the Middle East (its a lot of countries and would take a lot of space to type out)
