Abstract: This article examines briefly the major stumbling blocks in the progress of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) as a regional grouping, and then goes on to focus on three contentious issues that persist between India and Bangladesh, each of them with implications for human security. The first is ethnic divides and trans-border insurgencies, in which India is a factor. The second is the water issue between India and Bangladesh, not just arising from Farakka, but also from the Tipaimukh hydroelectric project in Assam. The third concerns the border and includes questions of trafficking in women and drugs and arms. It concludes that the region has to get out of the trap by cultivating a South Asian mind.
