Heeding the lines on the map China India Pakistan Bangladesh axis would be a game changer for all of South Asia At the heart of South Asia s poor integration is India Pakistan rivalry, further complicated by China Pakistan proximity and India China hostility. A new dimension has been added with souring of Pakistan Bangladesh relations and the India China tug of war over Bangladesh. Time has come to make a paradigm shift in South Asia s regional integration strategy. Politics and religion aside, across India, Pakistan and Bangladesh (IPB) there are common sociocultural bonds and people to people connectivity remains positive. Remaining five Bhutan, Nepal, Maldives, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan are paying the price of regional disintegration caused by unresolved puzzles having roots in China IPB (CIPB) axis If the big three can have a strategic partnership that also factors in China, the remaining five can effortlessly fit into positive regionalism with a win win situation for all. IPB account for approximately 95% of South Asia s GDP and population. Along with China, they account for 18.5% of global GDP and 41% of global population.
Continue South Asia s intraregional trade, currently 5% of total trade, can grow to $80 billion from the current $28 billion, the lion s share being within IPB. Pakistan and India have potential trade capacity of $20 billion compared to the current $3 billion. Underdeveloped transport and logistics services and bureaucratic procedures are deterring India Bangladesh cross border trade, which can grow by 300% Bangladesh China India Myanmar Economic Corridor (BCIM EC) has a pivotal position in developing joint investment agreements Although the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is being developed as a bilateral initiative, if Indian sensitivities can be addressed, it can be a multilateral project, integrating India as well as other South Asian and Central Asian regions Due to cross border barriers and lack of transport facilitation among IPB, freight movement is taking place along expensive routes Rail connectivity is restricted
Continue Supply demand gap of power in IPB is estimated to be 18,707 MW By 2050, China, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh will experience water shortages. Three transboundary river basins, Indus, Ganga and Brahmaputra, are all within CIPB This represents a huge potential for water sharing and hydro power projects India and China are leading globally in terms of Internet and smartphone users Bangladesh, Cambodia and China have signed a framework to strengthen digital trade Digital connectivity can act as the gateway to a holistic transformation of the region via CIPB IPB fail to attract sufficient tourists due to poor civil aviation connectivity complex regulations and lack of visa liberalisation procedures China is unable to attract students from South Asia against the improved facilities provided by the U.S. and U.K Only 5% of outbound students of IPB go to China, compared to 22% to the U.S. CIPB axis is an open ended chess game.
Anti forest, anti forest dweller Compensatory Afforestation Fund is a deeply flawed(त र ट प र ण) and unjust mechanism Mahesh Sharma informed Parliament that his Ministry has collected over 5,000 crore in a Central compensatory afforestation fund (CAF). This money is to be used though the Compensatory Afforestation Fund (CAF) Act, 2016 Purported mechanism to offset forest loss.
