Abstract
In a globalised world of interconnected societies and transnational dangers, where borders appear to be more a geographical expression rather than the delineation of national interests, regional disputes are here to remind us that sovereignty still matters in the world. Throughout history, large and small states have built walls and fortifications in their frontier areas. The border remained a highly emotive issue even today, its very location contested in many places and some groups refuse to accept its legitimacy. The new border created a volatile region, linking India, Pakistan, China and Bangladesh, that has experienced wars, border conflicts, regional revolts and many forms of everyday resistance.

The main focus of the present study is to identify the factors responsible for the border disputes and Regional Order in South Asian, particularly India’s border disputes with Pakistan and China.
