Southeast Asia is an ‘imagined’ region, its physical, political, social and cultural diversity being too immense to qualify it as having a distinctive personality. Yet, what gives it coherence must count as one of the finest acts of collective self-imagination undertaken by a region’s nationalist political elite in the wake of their liberation from European and American colonialism. As with nationalism and nation-states, regions may be ‘imagined’, designed, constructed and defended. The development of a regional Southeast Asian identity may not necessarily conform to the 'facts' of geography, history, culture or politics. The notion of Southeast Asia as a homogenous cultural or geographic entity can indeed be overstated. In the past Southeast Asia was defined by the outsider, and the project of self-definition is still not complete. And defining it in response to the American ‘war against terror’ will not really serve the purpose as it would still be an externally imposed sense of unity against an externally-defined trip. This book highlights these aspects of India’s development and its preeminence in South Asian region
