India has pulled out of the SAARC summit at the last moment. Is India justfied in this regard ?How can it makes excuses, citing Nepalese desolution of democratic government and the precarious security situation in Bangaldesh, when India has no qualms in extending ties with Burma and Bhutan? This will certainly impact the Indo-Pak reconciliation process and further delay the move towards regionalism
.
Does it suit a country of India’s stature to make such excuses when it is evident that barring India, all other South Asian states are facing problems at the political front and there is no excape from that.
Re: Indian justification
Oh, now you think India has a special stature in the region and a regional conference without India means nothing? tsk tsk
Re: Indian justification
This was a highly objectionable move by India 
They should have been considerate to this atleast that Bangladesh had spent so many resources on organising everything. All that went to waste as well.
Actually Indians think they are a big power now and they don’t want to “ghaas daal” to small countries that are in SAARC. Talk about having khush fehmyaan

Re: Indian justification
India did the right thing. Bangladesh has been facing a jihadi movement and the govt has simply denied it much like Pakistan used to do in the 1990s before the momentous phone call from Bush in 2001 :D
Nepal's King Gyanendra thought he could do a coup just before the meet and then quickly force others to accept it as fait accompli.
If the other nations think of this as hegemonistic, so be it. India cannot afford to have another jihadi adda in its vicinity.
