VISION 2050: A Roadmap to Regional Harmony & Reunification

VISION 2050

A Roadmap to Regional Harmony & Reunification

A strategic framework for India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan to move from historical trauma to a "Great India"—united by values, culture, and prosperity.

The Crisis Point (2024-2025)

The subcontinent stands at a precipice. Following the fall of the Hasina government in Bangladesh and the April 2025 terror attacks in Kashmir, regional stability has deteriorated sharply. Cross-border strikes and diplomatic cold wars threaten the lives of millions.

Reunification

The ultimate goal: A family of sovereign nations united in peace.

Foundation: Education

The "One World, One Identity" curriculum is the bedrock of Vision 2050. By standardizing what our children learn about history, civics, and the environment, we create a generation immune to radicalization.
