Know also as South Asia, the area includes the countries of India, Pakistan[1],Bangladesh[2],Sri Lanka,Nepal,and Bhutan;artistically,the Tibetan highlands also from part of the region. Stretching some 1800 miles from north to south, and almost the same distance from west to east, the area is home to an ancient and diverse group of cultures
India is the largest single nation of South Asia. Its currently twenty-four states exhibit a cultural diversity comparable to that seen among the nation of Europe. The Tamil region of south India has a language,script,musical tradition,dance form, and an artistic heritage that are quite distinct from those found in,sav,Punjab in north.It is this diversity that makes the artistic traditions of India so complex and rewarding to follow.
