		The theme of 
		regional integration suggests increased economic, social and political 
		interdependence. In south Asia this effort beside all recognized goals 
		was aimed at bringing peace and prosperity in the region. But till to 
		date this effort is seen a failure. Other contemporary organizations of 
		SAARC have achieved tremendous growth. The studies on the region reveal 
		that inter-state rivalries are the main hurdle in the growth of the 
		organization. ASEAN region has developed mechanism for conflict 
		resolution. But SAARC has failed to develop any such mechanism. Through 
		this study an effort is made to highlight the major conflicts in the 
		region and their impacts on the working of the organization. 
		Recommendations are provided for some established mechanisms for 
		conflict resolution in the region. The impact of different threat 
		perceptions in SAARC is highlighted. An attempt is also made to analyze 
		the role of dominant regional power in the success and failure of 
		regional organizations. This effort aims at further understanding about 
		the core issues of the region and their solution. The available 
		literature on the subject suggests a descriptive perspective of the 
		issue. This article aims at analytical review of the topic. Cite This Article As: Ayaz M, Idrees M (2015). Peace and conflicts in South Asia: A Case Study of Pakistan and India. Inter. J. Polit. Sci. Develop. 3(10): 400-404
