Desi (or Deshi; pronounced [ˈd̪eːsi] or [ˈd̪eːʃi], Hindi: देसी, Urdu: دیسی, Punjabi: ਦੇਸੀ, دیسی) refers to the people and culture of the Indian and South Asian diaspora. It includes British Indians, British Pakistanis, British Sri Lankans, Indian-Americans, Pakistani-Americans, Sri Lankan Americans and any other persons of South Asian heritage — with ancestry from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal or Bangladesh — living outside of South Asia. Emigrants from South Asia, and their descendents, are thus known as Desis. The word is originally from Sanskrit, literally meaning "from the country" or "of the country".

WGAF about WP? Don't you know any f@rk can edit it?

Anyone can post here, too, but at least at WP the MESE principle applies.

'desis' actually means Indians in this case. It's just that I did not want to be too rude.

there is no Yoga practised in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka or wherever.

Outside India the term 'desis' is used by the South Asian diaspora.

"there is no Yoga practised in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka or wherever. "


This seems a bold claim, given that yoga is practised all over the world.

Yoga is purely an Indic tradition. Especially Hindu.

credit where credit is due.

those who have chosen Islam have by extension negated their heritage.

does Buddhism have Yoga .. probably. So can't say for sure about Sri Lanka or Tibet.

But there are heaps of Hindus in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, and for that matter in Australia, Argentina, Denmark etc.

Not really no.

there used to be heaps .. but no more.

3 million in Pakistan, more than 10 million in Bangladesh, 1 million in Sri Lanka ... seems unlikely that out of all of those, none practice Yoga.
