| 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.
