Economic Prospects between South and Central Asia with Special Reference to India, Pakistan and Afghanistan

Abstract

The Central Asian States which have realized their sovereignty in recent past have very profound cultural, religious and economic ties with South Asian Countries, particularly with Pakistan, India and Afghanistan. Although these Central Asian States are very affluent in natural as well as human resources yet, currently, they are not prosperous economically. The core reason of their unsatisfactory economic conditions is their physical location. All the Central Asian States are land-locked and they do not have any prospect and access to outer world to develop their economy by utilizing resources. South Asia on other hand enjoys the best geographical position having thousands of miles coastal area and so many well developed coasts. If both the regions join hands and enlarge their economic relations they can surmount their economic crisis with the help of each other.
