Emulate EU

This is with reference to Sreeram Chaulia’s article, Cultural diplomacy (May 17). Amid the chaos of political, ethnic and religious absolutism in the subcontinent, India has steadily prospered through its deeply embedded democratic value systems. Compulsions of economic priorities of each nation as also an increasing sense of insecurity brought on by indifferent governance in our neighbours have added to the divide. Like the European Union, economic bonding may yet bring South Asia under one congenial umbrella.
