ABSTRACT
The culture in Asia is exceptionally rich and diverse. In the words of an author, ‘Like the ancient Greek city states no two neighbouring countries in South Asian region are without striking differences in their cultures.’1 However, this does not mean that the countries of this region have no common features. South Asia has a lot in common, for example common culture, common religions, common geographical features and resources and above all a common land mass or the territory. Almost all the countries of South Asia have common boundaries; however, the region is yet to realise the positive use of these common features as the common borders are used to promote proxy wars, cross-border terrorism, drug and human trafficking and so on. However, on a positive note, all these problems which emerged out of common features of these Asian countries have further added to the common concerns for the region. Since one country’s problems are connected to another’s, there can be a regional solution to these problems.
