Image: Eastern World

Description: The Eastern world, defined as "South Asia and beyond", consists of three overlapping cultural blocks: East Asia (Green), South East Asia (Blue), and South Asia (Orange). Notes: Pakistan is considered to be a part of the Eastern world because culturally it is much more closer to India (as evident by the same languages, racial features, etc as Northern India) than the Middle-east. Going by religion alone is original work, as many sources say Pakistan is a part of the East. If going by religion alone, Bangladesh should be a part of the Middle-east where it evidently isn't. Indian civilisations, such as the Indus, have been classified as Indian. There are virtually no Arabs or Persians in Pakistan which is a further reason as to why it cannot be a part of the Middle-east.
