Abstract
The geo political significance and strategic location of south Asia which constantly links the interests of both global and regional powers, makes it one the most important region in the world. South Asia has great impact on the global politics as the key international players usually have pursued their strategic goals in this region. Although their role in south Asia carries significant ramifications as the region has witnessed an increasing rise in terrorism, an un ending apprehensions, proxy wars, lack of trust and cooperation among the neighbours. The world sees a major shift from Unipolarity towards Multipolarity due to the gradual transition in global power. The role of the United States of America as a global hegemon has constantly been challenged by the new rising powers such as China and Russia which has vividly changed the outlook of the power politics on the global level. China has got a major role in south Asia particularly with its mega projects under one road one belt which consists of multiple initiatives such as the CPEC with Pakistan which is more vital and game changer. The United States of America perceives the presence of china in south Asia as carking. Several regional conflicts particularly the ones present in south Asia could get even more severe and alarming in the near future. The current situation in south Asia essentially the prolonged chaos in Afghanistan and rampant transnational terrorism has distorted the regional political settings hence attracting global players to pursue their interests in the region. Pakistan and India the two important regional powers have been dragged into a competition of economic and military balancing. Both the states are struggling in arm race extending to modern tactical nukes and lethal war armaments. The region has been in a center of global concern as the persistent tensions between the two nuclear states and even a small standoff could lead to devastating situation and a possible nuclear war between them. This would eventually shatter the regional and global security
