If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or a family history of kidney problems, you are at risk for kidney disease. Kidney disease is serious, but if you catch it early, you can slow it down or stop it. Ask your doctor to check your kidneys.
South Asia basically refers to India and the few countries around it. It is known as a subcontinent as it was not originally part of the landmass known as the Asian continent. This can be seen from the presence of the Himalayas.
The remark represents a departure from years of attempts by Pakistan to deny its South Asian identity and link up instead with the Muslim Middle East. Geographically, linguistically, culturally and historically South Asia is a vital part of Pakistan's personality. Yet for decades a majority of Pakistani policy makers, intellectuals and strategists have attempted to virtually relocate Pakistan within the Muslim Arab Middle East. India's name is derived from the river Indus, which now flows primarily through Pakistan.
