| Summary/Abstract |
The issue of region, regionalism and sub-regionalism are, perhaps,
contested owing to their varied interpretations and approaches. However,
South Asia is widely recognised as a region which roughly includes the
territory between China in the north and the Indian Ocean in the south;
and between Afghanistan in the west and Myanmar in the east, because
of geographical contiguity, shared history and cultural identity of the
countries composing it. South Asia had developed a ‘regional complex’
even before the British colonial period.
