Asia is the largest and the most populous continent on earth. South Asia has a population of around 1.8 billion,thus constituting about one fourth of humanity. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, the Maldives and Afghanistan are the countries in South Asia and many of them are Muslim-majority nations. Although India is predominantly a Hindu nation with a total population of 1.4 billion, there are more Muslims in India than in Pakistan and other South Asian nations. Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and followers of other religions have lived peace fully in South Asia for centuries. However, certain incidents of communal violence and other untoward occurrences in SouthAsia suggest that Islamophobia is present here too. The authors discuss demography, cultures and the possible effect of Islamophobia on the mental health of the people of South Asia.
亚洲是地球上面积最大且人口最多的大陆。南亚拥有约18亿人口，约占世界人口的四分之一。印度、巴基斯坦、孟加拉国、斯里兰卡、尼泊尔、不丹、马尔代夫和阿富汗是南亚国家，其中许多国家是以穆斯林为主的国家。尽管印度主要是一个印度教国家，总人口达14亿，但印度的穆斯林人口比巴基斯坦和其他南亚国家都多。印度教徒、穆斯林、基督教徒、锡克教徒和其他宗教的信徒在南亚和平共处了几个世纪。然而，南亚发生的某些社区暴力事件和其他不良事件表明，这里也存在伊斯兰恐惧症。作者们讨论了人口统计学、文化以及伊斯兰恐惧症对南亚人民心理健康可能产生的影响。
