I'd go as far as to add Tajikistan and Eastern Burma to the list.

I think culturally Tibet and Burma are very related and should be included, western Pakistan, Afghanistan, and definitly Tajikstan shouldn't be included lol.

Bhutan is Indo-Mongoloid. They are like 20% Hindu.
The general definition of South Asia is The Maldives, Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bhutan
Scholars acknowledge Tibet as part of South Asia because of it geographic location and its culture
They acknowledge Afghanistan because its has been under Indian dominion many times
