Possibly, the Indian Super League seems to be a bit of a failure though. Not enough people seem to be interested in Football in India or Pakistan although I see more kids are playing Football these days...
The only way I can see Football flourishing in the sub-continent is if there is enough commercial interest in order for international level players to be interested in playing in local leagues. That way, South Asian players will get the experience of playing against the most talented and accomplished players in the game and cross-pollination can occur.
