Turkey and its neighboring areas in its present (Islamic) form as well as in pre-Islamic form have close link with Countries which now constitute European Union.

Will EU ever accomodate Turkey as equal Partner as it did with Lithania and so many other East European nations?

Answer is no.

South Asia will remain 3 separate country precisely because Pak and Bangladesh will not cease to exist Islamic nation.

Though original sin of Partition can never be forgotten, it effectively divide 450 million Mulims in 3 parts.

If there were 450 million Muslims in India, however 25-30% population they would have constituted, it would have been a horrible horrible thing. Practically ungovernable.

You are absolutely right,
Our Iron Man of India "Sardar" perceived this Long before and let Jennah go with a piece of Land. So Sardar is indirectly responsible for the partition and it helps. Two Lions cannot live in the same Den. It's better the Partition has happened otherwise Hindus would have been a Minority if Pak, Bang are together.

SAARC integrating now would be like the EU being formed with the Battle of Britain in full swing.
