I found some interesting blogs about South Asia., but they constitute only of Indian and Pakisthani writers. (http://thesouthasianidea.wordpress.com/, http://onesouthasia.wordpress.com/)
The countries of South Asia as per the world bank are India, Pakisthan, Afganisthan, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Bhutan and Nepal. The link also gives us statistics.
