Littoral South Asia
South Asian subregion bordering Indian Ocean
Littoral South Asia or maritime South Asia is the region of the Indian subcontinent which borders the Indian Ocean. It includes the South Asian republics of Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and the Island South Asian nations of the Maldives and Sri Lanka. It is contested between India and China as part of what is sometimes referred to as an alleged "String of Pearls" strategy by China to contain India.[1][2][3]
