"Building Bridges" very rightly the theme of up coming summit of SAARC at Maldives.South Asia has for some time drawn Global attention and interest for economic, security and strategic reasons.India could take following initiative in this summit if not done already;to hasten & strengthen the process of 'building bridges'.
1.India need to take initiative to convert SAARC into a military block(in 10-20 yrs time) with an objective to improve the security of South Asia while reducing the total cost on defense in the region by 5-10 % a year 10-20 years and deploy the savings in development & Connectivity infrastructure(road, rail & air) in South Asia.
2.India should propose a South Asian rail9in the model of Euro Rail)-a faster rail network to connect all the important tourist destinations in South Asia to build real bridges among the people of South Asia.
3.Indian Govt. should also encourage Think-Tanks, Industry Associations,Top NGO,Corporates and Eminent Citizens to take active interest in the region and help spread soft and moral Indian power across the region in less than American Way.
