gigantic facets of environment, tourism and security in
this region.

region, the editor describes its colossal cultural,
climatic ethnic, architectural and customary diversity.
Thick forests, magnificent beaches, glaciers, meadows,
sky-high lake seas, icy falls, flora and fauna impel
millions of global tourists to squint the majestic sites
exposed by satellites. Governments of member countries
are busy in developing tourism.

South Asia is highly insecure with menacing danger of
terrorism, Islamic fundamentalism and ethnic conflicts.
Instead of deterrent, nuclearisation of India and
