Answer 2

Nepal never had democracy but had monarch. Consequently, it adopted democracy. Pakistan has had military revolutions and have dropped their status of being a democratic country many times. Also, US and China have always played an influential role in the South Asia region. There is a ‘Ganges Treaty’ that has been signed between India and Bangladesh. It is an agreement which allows both the countries to share surface waters at the ‘Farakka Barrage’ which is their mutual border.
