A Possible South Asian Economic Union

There are major and minor tensions within South Asia, the most famous being the Pakistan-India cold-hot war. And major violences, like the civil wars in Sri Lanka and Nepal. I believe in the goal of a South Asian economic union. Homework for such an eventuality is the only long term remedy to the tensions in the region.

The larger framework, though, has to be a reorganized UN.

Both are goals to which South Asians, wherever on the planet, can contribute to. Talk is action. Coalescing online is major action.
