''India is the key regional power in South Asia with larger responsibility. The country occupies an advanced andunchallenged position among the other states in South Asian subcontinent in terms of its political geography, strategic position, massive demography, superior military base and the huge reserve of natural resources. Hence, the efficiency of SAARC also greatly depends on the role of India. But, India’s relative gain manners with her smaller South Asian neighbours have fostered the environment of mutual suspicion among them. Given that, the use of a theoretical tool on a certain problem could illuminate the roots of that problem and open the ways of resolving it, India’s role towards SAARC is, therefore, need to be analyzed theoretically to find out the root problems of the less-effectiveness of the organization. In that case, the paper proposes neo-realism as a theoretical tool to analyze the less-effectiveness of SAARC.
