Liang Jieming,
South Asian term was created by US state department in early 70s (71,72) to deny Indic civilization/India its due place. It was part of Cold war. Previously, it was called Indian Subcontinent. When you are talking about ancient India or Indic civilization, its better to use term <b>"Indian subcontinent" or "Indic civilization".</b>
