But the volume, claiming to be comprehensive, falls remarkably short regarding the inclusion of northeastern states of india within discourses of imagining a unified south Asian region. These states show close proximity, both culturally, ethnically and in terms of landscape to the south east Asian region, making them significant and complex anchors of analysis for imagining yet 'another' south Asia. Nonetheless, the volume explores multiple possible trajectories of the south Asian region and is attractive for researchers and scholars from many different disciplines. it would also be of value to civil society activists, think tanks and a wider general readership interested in understanding the region.
