Question

Which among the following statements about South Asia is wrong?

a) All the countries in South Asia are democratic.
b) Bangladesh and India have signed an agreement on river-water sharing.
c) SAFTA was signed at the 12^th SAARC Summit in Islamabad.
d) The US and China play an influential role in South Asian politics.

Answer 1

The statement given in option A is incorrect.

Explanation

We may not agree that all the countries in South Asia are democratic. In this regard, we may cite the example of Myanmar, which is facing the challenge of establishing democracy, although some efforts have been made. Similarly, in looking into Pakistan’s history, the political situation of the country is well watched, although presently, it is a democracy.
