There seem to be few with a focus in south asian studies - a few highly selective come up - like Chicago.
But be careful - here is Stony Brook - they have a minor but not focus on history.
UIUC has a grad degree but not undergrad in South Asian history.
Most names will be solid. They may not have notoriety but why do they need to?
You can likely get into some less selective publics or money hungry private colleges, provided you took the required high school courses - i.e. if you have no science or math or foreign language, etc. it could be an issue.
But many schools, like Ohio State, will have some classes in the curriculum but that doesn’t mean they are offered.
I’ve linked this list below (last link) - you might find names here. I’ve bolded those that will potentially want your money or your GPA might work.
I’d look at, in addition to some of yours, Brandeis (will want your $$ I’m guessing), Buffalo, Indiana, and Missouri. You may need a history major with area minor/certificate.
