Summary/Abstract |
India shares land and maritime boundaries with eight countries – Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Apart from China, which is not situated in South Asia,India is overwhelmingly superior compared to her South Asian neighbours in military and economic terms.India's predominant position in the sub-continent has given rise to a great deal of fear and insecurity among its neighbours creating one of the rare instances in the realist theory that calls for "bandwagoing" rather than balancing behaviour.

Summary/Abstract |
Geography is as much an advantage as it is a problem to cultivate and maintain good relationship with India’s South Asian neighbours. A plethora of territorial,historical ,cultural and ethnic problems have persistently disturbed bilateral relationship. In all these countries there are sections supporting engagement with India and opposing it. Bilateral relationship vacillates between good and worse according to the section that holds the reins of political power though in case of Pakistan influence of the military remains constant.

Summary/Abstract |
India’s global ambitions are intricately linked to its growth as a leading nation as well as its regional influence. Brimming with opportunity yet equally troubled by challenges deep-rooted in its vast expanses, history and extra-regional geopolitics, cooperation in South Asia has proved to be a predicament as unique as the region itself. It is argued that South Asia’s performance in terms of socioeconomic indicators depends to a large extent on India’s geo-economics, and hence, this essay focuses on the use of trade policy in the geo-economics of India with its neighbours. On one hand, trade and investment figures indicate India’s position as the gravitational core in South Asia has weakened. On the other hand, it is doing more than ever under the aegis of the “Neighbourhood First” and the “Act East” policy to strengthen connectivity infrastructure at the sub-regional level, given the sombre achievements of the SAARC region as a whole in strengthening regional economic ties. The essay makes pointed recommendations for effective regionalism amongst the South Asian nations.

Summary/Abstract |
This article highlights the current relevance of cultural diplomacy not as a panacea for the problems in India's relations with its South Asian neighbours but as a way of dealing with the dilemma it faces. Against the backdrop of India's position in South Asia and the importance of the region, the article makes an estimate of cultural diplomacy. Furthermore, it emphasises the need for redefining and reshaping India's cultural diplomacy not as a means of increasing its own influence but with a view to furthering the prospects of regional cooperation and thereby helping the process of peace-building in the region.

Summary/Abstract |
India as an emerging regional economic power in Asia is on the brink of assuming political leadership to preserve peace and stability in the region. This aspiration however, has not fructified due to India's complex and frosty relationships with its South Asian neighbours. Geopolitically India is surrounded by weak states that pose grim challenges to its national security as well as to its aspirations to emerge as a regional power and a global player in the international politics. Nevertheless, it is the only country in the region which can bear the liability of steering the area to the path of political stability and socio-economic development.
