SHAFAQNA PAKISTAN (Shia News Agency)
South Asia is rapidly becoming a proxy war ground for the major power due to new approach of India, which wants to be a regional hegemon at the expense of other states of the region. This Indian ambition is well utilised by the US. The US knows well Indian concerns of China and Pakistan’s concerns of India. And probably this is the reason that the US has been successful in maintaining its relevance in the South Asian security architecture. South Asia is the region where proxies had been successful.There is general agreement in intelligentsia that the world is moving from the unipolarity to multipolarity as the term “super power” is not something tangible, but an abstract term, and the world intelligentsia has already been talking for quite some time that the next super power is China. The US’s new strategy of “Re-balancing Asia”, against China and India getting itself aligned, would not only affect the regional balance but also would create the neo-cold war between the US and China and the South Asia would be directly affected.At present India, being in favourable position is the real spoiler in the existing or any future security architecture of the region. The recent offensive tendencies of India might endanger the region with nuclear risks as Pakistan being in disadvantageous position would be compelled to opt for any alternative that might serve its national interests. For this purpose Pakistan would have to resort on tactical weapons to counterbalance the Indian threats. Indian expedited efforts to gain control on South Asia would destabilize the region as if Pakistan’s focus is diverted from Western to Eastern border, it would be bonus for terrorist’s elements and they are equally dangerous not only for Pakistan but India also.
