| Summary/Abstract |
An integrated South Asia shall always be in the larger interest of India. It shall turn out to be an economic giant and attractive for the external powers of the regional as well as the world. However, delineating a more integrated South Asia is no mean task. In the South Asian context, the centrifuge operated by India-Pakistan relations draws the region apart. India at this juncture need to rethink about implanting the ‘Idea of India’ in the heart and mind of leadership as well as people of the region. Undoubtedly, challenges are there before Mr. Modi to reinforce the ‘Idea of India’ by aligning the goals of ensuring that we are the largest democracy of the world and also a global power to be recon with. Such an endeavour will not be successful if Indian leadership fails to be magnanimous in their thought and actions.
