Rare card · No. 38733

Desi (Hindustani: देसी, دیسی), also Deshi (Bengali: দেশী), is a term used to describe the peoples, cultures, and products of the Indian subcontinent and their diaspora, derived from Sanskrit देश (dēśá), meaning 'land' or 'country'. Desi traces its origin to the people of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, and reflects a shared cultural and historical identity that predates the British-facilitated Partition of India in 1947. The term is often less accurately extended to include Afghanistan, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.
