Ordet <i>deśa-</i> (देश) betyr på <a href="/wiki/Sanskrit" title="Sanskrit">sanskrit</a> omtrent «fedreland», «land» eller «hjemland», og <a href="/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi" title="Mahatma Gandhi">Mahatma Gandhi</a> brukte betegnelsen <i>ma des</i> om det utvidede, indiske hjemlandet. Betegnelsen brukes bredt både om menneskene, kulturene og produktene fra området, i betegnelser som <i>desi-musikk</i>, <i>desi-mat</i>, <i>desi-litteratur</i>, eller bare <i>desi</i>. Et eksempel på «desi»-kultur er <a href="/wiki/Bollywood" title="Bollywood">Bollywood</a>-sjangeren som er populær i alle landene i regionen. </p><p>Ordet skal være brukt allerede omkring 200 f.Kr i skriftet <a href="/w/index.php?title=Natya_Shastra&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Natya Shastra (ikke skrevet ennå)">Natya Shastra</a>, hvor det betegnet den varierte folkelige kulturen i motsetning til den pan-indiske klassiske (opphøyde) kulturen. </p><p>Delingen av India og Pakistan i <a href="/wiki/1947" title="1947">1947</a> førte til utviklingen av nye, nasjonale identiteter i landene, samtidig som <a href="/wiki/Punjab" title="Punjab">Punjab</a> og <a href="/wiki/Kashmir" title="Kashmir">Kashmir</a> ble delt i to. Punjabisk kultur, språk og musikk er stort både i India og Pakistan, og binder ofte sammen identitetene på tvers av grensene. </p><p>I dag brukes ordet både for å beskrive den regionale felleskulturen, og for å beskrive drømmen eller visjonen om et ikke-delt indisk subkontinent. Spesielt føler yngre indere, pakistanere og bangladeshere som bor utenfor subkontinentet at de tilhører den samme kulturen, at de er <i>desi</i>. Dette står ofte i motsetning til vektleggingen av forskjellene (og motsetningene) mellom landene. </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r24553676"><table class="box-Objektivitet plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span class="skin-invert" typeof="mw:File"><span><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fe/Unbalanced_scales.svg/45px-Unbalanced_scales.svg.png" decoding="async" width="45" height="40" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fe/Unbalanced_scales.svg/68px-Unbalanced_scales.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fe/Unbalanced_scales.svg/90px-Unbalanced_scales.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="400" data-file-height="354" /></span></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span"><b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:N%C3%B8ytralt_st%C3%A5sted" title="Wikipedia:Nøytralt ståsted">Objektivitet</a>:</b> Denne seksjonens <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Objektivitet" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Objektivitet">objektivitet</a> er omstridt. <b>Obs!</b> <small>Endringer som mangler kildehenvisning og/eller avviker fra en objektiv fremstilling, kan bli fjernet.</small> <small><i>(november 2021)</i></small></div></td></tr></tbody></table> <p>En utbredt misoppfatning i dag blant <a href="/wiki/Nordmenn" title="Nordmenn">nordmenn</a> er at srilankere også er en del av denne kulturen.
