Abstract

The Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea (BoBAS) rim countries comprising of India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Thailand, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Singapore is a group that has the potential to emerge as one of the fastest growing regions in Asia and the world. These countries are tied together with a multitude of factors such as history, culture, demographics and technological development. This article seeks to evaluate if these countries can complement each other’s growth strategy and the role that India can play to stimulate growth in this region. The article can broadly be divided into two parts: the first part discusses the evolution of development strategy and regional economic integration while the second part analyses the role that India can play in guiding the growth across these countries and the various key initiatives taken up by India in recent past to foster high and sustainable growth.
