Southern South Asia is a geographical area in South Asia, and is the southern region of the subcontinent. Depending on definition, it includes the countries of India (particularly South India), the Maldives, and Sri Lanka.[1][2] It is predominantly Dravidian.[3][4]
Southern South Asia is noted for being the most culturally distinct region of South Asia from Northern South Asia,[5] with greater gender equality.[6][7] There is significant competition between India and China for influence over the island nations of the region.[2]
