Especially with respect to South Asia, there is a tendency to pusstfoot over matters, which while being very important, are also very nuanced. For example: caste, it is a complex phenomenon that still deeply affects people, yet many treatments try to air brush it away.
Also it is an extremely diverse region, whereas it get often portrayed as a largely homogeneous monoculture, when in fact it isn't.
