        @nytimes there's a lot of diversity in the area, and the article just talks about one perspective (Hindu)

        @nytimes South Asia all the way. Btw doesn't mention Bangladesh as being a part of South Asia, which seems like a pretty big oversight ⁉️⁉️

        @nytimes India is the name of a country. Calling the region India would only create confusion.
