As of now, countries of South Asia comprise approximately one-sixth of the worlds population. India, alone has over one billion inhabitants, and will soon surpass China as the worlds most populous nation. In comparison with its size, this area could be considered by some to be one of the most diverse places in the world. Along with religious and ethnic diversity, there is also wide linguistic diversity with hundreds of languages and dialects that are spoken through out the subcontinent. Although steeply rooted in cultural and religious tradition, social life in South Asia has changed significantly in some urban areas, while only modifying slightly in others. This could be attributed to the openness or close mindedness of cultural groups to change.
