ABSTRACT
Moving beyond the focus on security and strategic studies on South Asia in general and India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh in particular, this volume attempts to generate studies on the socio-political, cultural, and anthropological linkages that make the subcontinent one of the most politically divided and yet culturally consolidated regions in the world. This concluding chapter reticulates various strands of argument that the contributing authors have brought into focus by probing pertinent queries concerning the political boundaries, which hamper the academic affiliations across the subcontinent.
