Muslims in
India: A Bleak Past, An Uncertain Future
Aarish U. Khan
argues that Muslims
would be better co-opted into Indian state through their inclusion into
decision-making processes and increasing their stake in the system
rather than trying to marginalize them at best and kill their distinct
identity at worst.
Indus Waters
Across 50 Years: A Comparative Study of The Management Methodologies of
India and Pakistan
Asma Yaqoob
states that despite progress, the management of Basin waters at present
is posing a number of challenges. Both India and Pakistan need to adopt
water-efficient practices at the public level besides maintaining
existing water infrastructure.
Good Governance: The Achilles’ Heel of South Asia — is There a Way
Forward?
Syed Imran
Sardar argues that
frequent changes in political regimes have caused disastrous
consequences for political, economic and social governance in South
Asia. Hence, institutional problems have become more entrenched in the
region as compared to other regions in the world.
Pak-Afghan ties in the Light of Pak-US Strategic Dialogue
Humera Iqbal
argues that both Pakistan and Afghanistan's own national security
interests demand that they come out of the their dependency on the US
and concentrate more on generating and mobilizing their own resources
and expertise to stabilize their economic sector.
Problem in Northeast India: A Case Study of Nagaland
Sidra Tariq
argues that Nagaland,
today, stands at a crossroads with a political environment that is
changing but is extremely vulnerable to the decisions and actions of the
key players involved. India, now needs to take 'conclusive political
measures' in the regional security perspective.
