Throughout my research on this grave situation, thoughts that crossed my mind were that even when Corona virus was ravaging the economic foundations of the world, still few countries accepted the doctrine of an eye for an eye on its borders.

The research briefly put across the historic moments taken place and the tense issues within Indian, China & Pakistan. The finishing part of the research put forward the upcoming situation as the United States withdraws from Afganistan and the West's influence in the region declines, this triangular strategic relationship will become more complicated nevertheless the two major powers India & China can define their parameters of a new regional order. India must view the region from a wider, long-term strategic perspective and avoid disputes with its neighbouring countries because such an initiative could lead to peaceful coexistence and conciliatory management of the region’s problems and it would bring first signs of peaceful Southeast Asian ‘ Superpower ’ on the rise.
