By mapping India's spatial imaginations underlying Indian foreign
policy toward South Asia, Shibashis Chatterjee argues that India's
understanding of its neighbourhood is informed by a politics of
realism as South Asia remains a 'space' defined in terms of power
and sovereign territoriality in contrast to alternative
imaginations based on the market or community. This understanding
is one of India's ruling elites consisting of politicians, cutting
across party lines, key bureaucrats, army chiefs, and influential
policy intellectuals. While alternative imagination/s of South Asia
is indeed ideationally possible, the politics necessary to make
this happen is virtually nonexistent. While India's relations with
neighbours have varied with regimes over time, these have moved
between fixed points of references, constituted by its imagination
of South Asia as a space of power and territorial control. The book
tells a story of India's spatial imaginations of its neighbourhood
and reveals how the differentiated cartography of territorial
nationalism still looms large on our shared ontology of social
space.
