Culturally it's most often used by commies, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and enemies of India as an umbrella term to gain respectability themselves.

Corollary - if you're an indian, refuse to join or serve in any associations/organizations that are titled 'South Asian.' Do NOT acquiesce to this bastardized identity.
