In South Asia, boundaries are blurred but borders are bona fide. Boundaries have been blurred since geological time and so it has been culturally in the most recent times. Borders are of many kinds: between rival ethnic groups; between a majority and a minority; between different religious affiliations; or between citizens and denizens. Caste and class are there too, as is the difference between savage and cultured and others like the rural-urban dichotomy, all of which are prominent in South Asia. The commons-air, water, land-give rise to claim and counter-claim; and the political borders defy reason. It is, finally, in the mind of man that the geo-cultural unity of South Asia has to be constructed.

| Summary/Abstract |
After the massive success of people's movements during 2008, by mid-2009 Southasia seems to be burning under the pre-monsoon heat. To start in the West of region, US strategists have firsthand knowledge of what ferocious Taliban fighters are capable of doing. It was under the stewardship of the pacific Command that mujahideen warrors waged jihad against godless Marxists in Afghanistan. Now, some unconventional war will turn out to be President Barack Obama's Vietnam. Yet another set of Pentagon schemers fear that Pakistan too might fall apart, necessitating an Afghanistan-style takeoverof a failed state.
