The great divide between the rich and the poor is escalating day by day especially in the developing countries of South Asia. The figures are alarming in the region as a whole. We would have been able to make a better analysis of the situation, if the writer provided the figures of the poverty rate of all the South Asian countries. Also, the reference to the regional cooperation between the countries should have been given; for it is just a mere fabrication which is not working in any capacity to look into the matter of eradicating poverty and social inequalities, which by any means are one of the major problems existing in the region.
