ABSTRACT
South Asia contains some of the largest and most important military organizations in the world today.The Indian Army is the world’s second largest, Pakistan’s is the world’s sixth, and both countries have a growing stock of nuclear weapons.1 The Bangladesh Army is active in UN peacekeeping activities and plays an important political role in that country, although not as great as that of the Pakistan Army, which has directly or indirectly dominated Pakistan for more than half of its 60-year history.
