thanks for the link. The comments clearly show the mentality of indians and India towards its neighboring countries. They want to be a leader without having to take care of its members or it want to be a leader of one member team.

Most of Indians don't want to have relation with SAARC nations or worry about it. some of the comments:

Why concentrate on SAARC... India should try building its trade with the Central Asian countries, EU, US and the Asia-Pacific

Pakistan will only import Indian goods from Dubai etc. adding to the cost for poor Pakistanis who could easily aquire from across the border at approx 40% less cost. Similarly Pakistan does not allow Indian goods to go across its territory to Afghanistan - making it more expensive for poor Afghans who have to pay approx.

The only thing that the Saarc summit has ever been able to decide is where the next Saarc summit should be held.

Other Saarc nations have little to offer India by way of trade and investment opportunities. In fact, given the current state of political upheaval in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal, one can argue that these nations represent a drag on India's economic prospects.
