South Asian is not "reasonable" it is pretty much racist. We white people could not be bothered with actually noticing the difference between Pakistan and India is the reason.

I'm Indian-American, as I stated above, and the list of subcategories are my own ethnic taxonomy.

I'm not sure what part of the Lingayat distinction bothers you. My grandparents would characterize it as "Lingayat" vs "Brahmina"; would you have preferred that framing?

I don't care about whatever you frame. South Asia = Pakistan.
