![]() | India-South Asia Interface: Religion, Politics and the Wider World Subjects: Area Studies; Politics & International Relations; Asian Studies; Asian Politics; International Relations; South Asian Politics; Regionalism; South Asian Studies; India-South Asia Interface raises the fundamental question: How does one make sense of South Asia? Conventional wisdom defines it primarily in terms of regional and international politics. The failures of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) are emblematic of that wisdom. Marking a departure from such approaches, Partha Ghosh makes the case that more than merely a political construct South Asia must be understood as a shared social consciousness. Through chapters that explore topics such as threats to democracy, religion and politics, the place of Kashmir, different conceptions of regionalism, the roles of America and China, and the issue of refugees and migrants, he demonstrates that there is no escape from reinventing the region from a people's perspective. Only this way can South Asia retrieve its soul and replace its cynicism and despair with expectation and hope.
