Fun fact: when you say "Asian" to an American, their first thought is East or Southeast Asia, but a British person's primary association with "Asianness", for lack of a better term, is India and Pakistan.

Geographically it is a subcontinent that slammed into Asia to form the Himalayas, so you could make the argument it is its own thing.

That's like arguing nothing is its own thing cause they used to be one continent.

India and Pakistan are considered to be in Asia but more accurately they are considered to be in the Indian Subcontinent. The same way Iran, Saudi Arabia and the rest are also considered to be in Asia but they are more accurately considered to be on the Middle East.
