.World's Largest Democracy With A Shattered Neighbourhood

Author(s) Dr. Prabha HM, Anil Krishna N E
Country India
Abstract India’s position as the world’s largest democracy is increasingly shaped by political instability in its immediate neighborhood. Since 2022, a series of revolutions, regime changes, and economic crises in South Asian countries have altered regional dynamics, directly affecting India’s security, trade, migration, and diplomatic influence. This article examines these developments through the case of Nepal’s 2025 Gen Z–led protests, which began as resistance to a social media ban and evolved into a broader anti-Government movement resulting in regime change. The study analyzes why Nepal is strategically significant for India, highlighting factors such as the open border, economic interdependence, shared cultural ties, and growing Chinese influence. It further evaluates the risks posed by political instability—including border security challenges, refugee flows, diplomatic uncertainty, and external interference—while also identifying opportunities for India to strengthen regional engagement through development cooperation, youth partnerships, economic integration, and digital policy leadership. The article argues that India must adopt a balanced, non-interventionist yet proactive approach to manage neighborhood upheavals. Ultimately, it underscores that regional stability and cooperative neighborhood relations are essential for safeguarding India’s national interests and sustaining its democratic leadership in a fragmented South Asian order.
Keywords Keywords: India’s Neighborhood; Nepal Crisis; Youth-Led Protests; Regional Stability.
