What do many of the political conflicts in South Asia have in common?
I think that many of the political conflicts in South Asia are based off of conflicting religions. In the past there have been many rivals between Hindus and Muslims, which causes much violence. There are also certain extremist groups that cause tension and violence. There is also tension between India and Pakistan over an Indian state called Kashmir, which is mostly populated by Muslims. Both India and Pakistan own nuclear weapons, therefore a war could break out at any minute.
This is my answer. Any suggestions? Is my answer right, should I add something to it?

I think you're right, as far as this is concerned. Some of the conflict, however, comes as former colonies of European powers have tried to establish themselves as independent states. Independence may have come non-violently, but dividing up territory, along ethnic and religious divisions, has proved somewhat difficult. You are correct in what you say.
Okay thanks for letting me know! (=
