Kelly says the economic slowdown in the US may mean fewer US buyers, but this won't have a big effect in Asia because 80 to 85 percent of the region's MandA deals are intra-regional.

In a situation where the politics of expediency and vested interests seem to ruin the lives of people, some times it becomes interesting for a reader to explore the reasons which contribute to the outbreak of conflicts and wars and hope for a better future.

Some very interesting and revealing facts which appear in this chronology prove why the people of South Asia are still under the shadow of poverty and backwardness and the reasons which have so far denied this region for following the path of progress and prosperity.
