South Asian perspectives

This is a well written book.It is both factual and concise.It would be suitable for both undergraduate and even graduate courses on South Asia as a broad based primer encompassing relevant political,economic and social facts about an increasingly important region which is host to a population creeping toward the 1.5 billion mark.Chapters on the smaller countries Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal which sometimes get overlooked because authors tend to concentrate on India-Pakistan issues, have been well presented.I would recommend this book to the general reader,as well as professors and their students attempting to build a base for specialization in South Asian studies.
