| Summary/Abstract |
The political landscape of South Asia has changed completely because of the formation of new governments in most of the South Asian countries. India, one of the important players in the region is going to have its general elections held in March-April 2014. China also underwent change in its leadership in 2013. Recent years have seen increased competition and repeated rivalries between China and India over the issue of their engagements with South Asian countries. China in this paper is treated as part of South Asia itself as it has over period of last few decades succeeded in connecting itself with this region through well built highways and rail-network, which has enabled China to have unrestricted access towards Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean.
