Do Indians consider themselves Middle Eastern or Asian?

Just curious.

I could see both ways but I would much rather hear from an Indian himself.

Middle East is also in Asia so, technically, Middle Easterners are also Asian.

But the term Asian has different meanings in the West. The Americans use the term to mean East Asians -- definitely not including subcontinentals. In Britain, the word Asian means subcontinentals. I don't know what term the Brits use for East Asians.

 

[ZhengHe]

HAPPY??
