Political normalization between India and Pakistan isn’t on the horizon since it would require Pakistan to accept India’s revocation of Article 370.

Indian External Affairs Minister Dr. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar reportedly told members of the Parliamentary Consultative Committee on External Affairs last month that the South Asian Association For Regional Cooperation (SAARC) “is on pause; we have not pressed a full stop on it. It is on pause because of Pakistan’s approach.” He then added that the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) is now India’s primary platform for regional integration.

SAARC consists of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, while BIMSTEC involves Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Thailand.

SAARC fell apart in 2016 after India refused to attend that year’s summit in Islamabad in the aftermath of the Uri terrorist attack that India blamed on Pakistan. It’s been moribund ever since.

By contrast, every other region in the world has embraced the multipolar trend of regionalization through their own respective platforms, thus making South Asia the conspicuous exception.

No irreconcilable differences exist between its members un
