Abstract
South Asia has emerged as the geopolitical centre of the world. Its geography and economic opportunities make it crucial from a strategic standpoint. The region today is faced by several challenges including political instability, economic crisis, inter-state and intra state conflicts, climate issues and so on. This paper will try to analyse these challenges faced by South Asia. We will also look at a case study of Pakistan in the contemporary era. The year 2022 saw political turmoil, an economic crisis, and catastrophic flooding in Pakistan which has been exacerbated this year by terrorist attacks and the possibility of the country being partitioned into four parts. Pakistan has been dealing with challenges with Afghanistan, which is also in a state of crisis. Pakistan and Afghanistan have a lot more common than their roots in the Indian sub-continent - this has been further aggravated in the recent times with both the countries facing their own turmoil which are different but similar. It will also explore the similarities between Pakistan and Afghanistan and try to understand if Pakistan is going down the Afghanistan route.
