By Dr. Sawraj Singh India is the leading country in the South Asian region. It has the largest population and the largest area there. It will be no exaggeration to say that for all practical purposes, this is the area of Indian influence. Therefore, maintaining peace and harmony in the area should be India’s top priority. Pakistan is also a very important country in the region. Peace and harmony in the region primarily depends on relations between Indian and Pakistan. Currently, India is leaning towards America and Pakistan has very close relations with China. Therefore, relations between America and China are bound to affect the region. Afghanistan is also a part of South Asia and the war there is also affecting the region.

Instead of Vinning, Chretien ended up appointing a South Asian (Ismaili-Muslim) woman Mobina Jaffer to the Senate.
