Countries in South Asia being religiously,
ethnically and culturally diverse are naturally prone
to intrastate conflicts and tensions. The inability of
their ruling elites to neither grant nor guard the
political and economic rights of minority groups
cause discontent and conflicts. India being a
powerful country and occupying central position in
the region could help its neighbours to overcome
their problems. Conversely, it can exploit them to
its advantage in order to extract various
concessions and impose its dictates on them. This
article discusses the case of Bangladesh, Sri Lanka,
Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Afghanistan and
finds that India chose the latter course and used
support of terrorism as a tool of its foreign policy
to advance its interests in the region.
