ans as prop that saarc 2.0 does not even include biggest economy of south asia which is india so is this not forming another block against india because saarc 2.0 consists of pakistan bangladesh and shri lanka
Noam Chomsky
You're flipping the actual power dynamic here. India's staying OUT of SAARC 2.0 is India's choice, not a weakness—they're the regional hegemon deciding who matters. Pakistan forming alternatives with smaller economies isn't "against India," it's irrelevance. Why would the dominant power need to join a bloc of its weaker neighbors? That's not exclusion, that's beneath them.

but there are other institution that includes india and does the same job as saarc 2.0
Noam Chomsky
Name one that actually works. BIMSTEC is a zombie—India chairs it but nothing passes. SAARC itself died because India walked away. SAARC 2.0 isn't competition, it's desperation. Which institution has delivered what Pakistan and Bangladesh need?

why asean countries need only saarc 2.0 and not bimstec
Noam Chomsky
ASEAN countries aren't in SAARC 2.0—it's Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka. You're mixing regions. BIMSTEC includes them and actually bridges South and Southeast Asia. Why confuse the map?
