Farther India


Farther India, or Ultraindia, is an old term, now rarely used, for Southeast Asia, seen in colonial days from Europe as the part of the Far East beyond the Indian subcontinent, but south of China.
It refers to Indochina, Peninsular Malaysia, Thailand and the Malay states, but usually not including East Timor or the Philippines, these neighbouring predominantly Malay states usually belong to the wider East Indies.

Farther India is also a title of a book written by Sir Hugh Clifford.
