Taxon exhibits tremendous diversity in morphoanatomical details of various gametophytic charac-ters. Isozyme analysis was performed to find out whether variability in the taxon is only environmental or has genetic basis as well.展开更多

In South Asia, most of the countries embraced the idea except India. There is no doubt that OBOR is likely to have farreaching implications on South Asian politics, economy and security. China has been engaging in the region through various economic and development projects for last two decades. This has raised serious security and strategic concerns in India. China's growing bilateral trade investments and development-oriented connectivity projects in India's neighbourhood have been popularly dubbed as China's 'String of Pearl Strategy' aimed to contract India's sphere of influence in the region. There is a deficit of trust between emerging India and rising China over their interests and intentions. Many observers, however, view OBOR as a game changer at least in South Asia, where this would necessitate re-alignment and re-balancing. But, how does India perceive this project is a matter of serious concern that would shape the nature of implications on South Asia? In this context, this article examines the impact of OBOR on South Asia Region from sub-regional perspectives and it explores how China can play a constructive role by reconciling its grand strategy with national interests of South Asian countries in order to minimise the adverse impact of OBOR [especially China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)] on the peace and security of the region through effective CBMs.展开更多
