Asia commune is the civil movement of Asian civil society. It covers countries like India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan, Maldives, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia etc. These countries all have many unhappy distinctions: mass poverty with its attendant evils of ignorance, ill health and technological backwardness, territorial disputes among the major states of India and Pakistan, internal polarizations that threaten peace and integrity in almost each state, and the lack of mutual trust among its constituents. Of all the regions, South Asia happens to be rather well defined geographically, historically and thus geopolitically. Its internal divisions, deep mistrust among its states and internal incoherence within its larger states have prevented the region from realizing its potential of economic progress, political influence and the cultural enrichment of its teeming millions.
Some common factors like political instability, poverty, communal right, caste base discrimination, unemployment, and low economic condition of people. One third of the world labour force is in south Asian countries as well as one third unemployment also in these countries. Need of women empowerment also is a big point.
So the Aim of Asian Commune is no disparately, peace and prosperous classless society, so all these countries should come together for the betterment of the society
