Sweet dream, Mr. Gomes!
You want a secular South Asian Regional Union, including Afghanistan! The problem is Pakistan and Afghanistan are too far into the ditch of Islamic fanaticism. In 2006, under all the guns of the United States, an Afghan Muslim who converted to Christianity could not stay in his homeland, because he would be killed there for his so-called crime of changing his religion. The best George Bush could do to save his life was to smuggle him out of that country. Regular school textbooks of Pakistan teach children to hate non-Muslims and non-Islam. Bangladesh is a lot better than Pakistan and Afghanistan, but still very much in the gutter of hatred and discrimination against religious minorities.
How in the world are you going to have a civilized union, when the core of much of the entities that you are talking about is uncivilized?
Cheers for your unrealistic thoughts, which I believe will remain unrealistic for at least a few hundred years.
