Small states in South Asia

Sovereign equality of states is a misnomer so far as the small states are concerned. Of late, these entities are receiving special attention from across the globe. The UN, Commonwealth and World Bank have been their chief advocates. Small states are also studied from a comprehensive security point of view. Against this backdrop, the book written by Dr. Anil Kumar Mohapatra, on the land-locked tiny Himalayan States, is a timely one.It is a must for any one who is interested in the South Asian politics and the security studies of the Himalayan States i.e. Nepal and Bhutan.
