Yes there is a Mutual benefits on Economic Level but when Geopolitics comes equation then it becomes a Competition and one win one lose game that is the problem here in South Asia. For Years in last Century when India was most Influential in the region South Asian Countries didnt got any Economic benefits despite of being most Strategically Located but when Chinese started flexing their influence all these countries started making Progress. That is the case here in South Asia and Indian attitude towards any development have not been encouraging as well in this regards.
You are utterly wrong in your assessment regarding India's role in south asia. There are many projects that were financed by India and we are continuously doing the same.We want to make south asia a regional trading powerhouse.
GMR an Indian company even financed the Maldives airport during the previous govt. regime. This new nut case president threw the contract and last I heard he owns 800 million dollars to GMR for the losses it suffered. Because of this India stopped all aid (about $100 million) to Maldives. Maybe they are seeking aid from Pakistan to come out of this financial mess. Good luck to Maldives and Pakistan friendship.
