I never knew India was in Middle East, 'n', not in Asia-Pacific Region!!

The book "Mapping Security" has classified India in the Middle-East/Africa region... I don't know whom should we blame for such a geo-political mistake, should it be the author or the proof-reader, or both of them? The classification is wrong politically as well as geographically. Probably the authors need to look at the globe before they make such classification. Apparantly the author belongs to Symantec (The Anti-Virus Company), and they have quite sizable development center located in Bangalore, India.
