1 Chapter 25, Section 1 (Pages ) The Economy Economic growth has occurred in different ways and at different rates in the countries of South Asia, but increased trade has helped the region s countries become more economically interdependent. Complete a web diagram like the one below by identifying obstacles new farming methods create for the people of South Asia. Obstacles Economic Activities (page 629) Think about tourism in South Asia. Ask yourself, how might increased tourism affect life in the region? Agriculture is South Asia s most common occupation. Many people practice subsistence farming and often rely on labor intensive methods. The availability of water is a constant concern. South Asian farms vary widely in size and appearance. Cash crops are grown for sale or export. Jute, a fiber used to make string, rope, and cloth, is a cash crop of Bangladesh. Rice is the major food crop of South Asia. Since the 1960s, the green revolution has sought to increase crop yields in developing countries by using carefully managed irrigation, fertilizers, and high-yielding crops. When enough petroleum is not available, people burn biomass plant materials and animal dung for energy. Mining and fishing are profitable in the region, with a potential for growth. India has industrialized much more quickly than Bhutan due to its connections with the West. The region s light industry grows out of its history of cottage industries, businesses that employ workers in their homes. Other industries include heavy industries, service industries, high technology, and tourism. Ecotourism that encourages responsible interaction with the environment contributes to South Asian economies. Chapter 25, Section 1 187

2 Transportation and Communications (page 632) Based on their physical geography and locations, why might Bhutan and Nepal do less trade with outside trading partners such as Europe? Transportation and communications in South Asia are varied and vital to the region s economies. Nepal has the least-developed transportation network in the region. Its mountain trails serve as its main trade routes. India has an extensive highway network and vast railway system. Bangladesh also has a railway system, and cars, buses, buffalo carts, and cycle rickshaws share its roads. Finally, in recent years, Pakistan and Bhutan have invested in the construction of highways. Except for Bhutan and Nepal, countries in the region have many seaports. Inland waterways in Bangladesh are used to transport domestic and foreign goods. Newspapers in India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan are lively and outspoken, but the government of Bhutan restricts its media. Freedom of the press is limited in Nepal as well. India is the region s leader in Internet use, with more than 38 million subscribers in Trade and Interdependence (page 633) Why is India so important to the trade and economies of the other countries in the region? South Asian countries are struggling to become more interdependent, or reliant on one another, but political disputes have affected economic ties between the countries. Rapid economic growth in some countries may lessen political tensions. India is South Asia s largest economy and other countries in the region depend on India for the majority of their import and export trade. After overcoming distrust between Pakistan and India, the South Asia Free Trade Agreement (SAFTA) was agreed upon in 2004 and went into effect in India has made its own free trade agreements with other countries in the region and is pursuing treaties with the European Union and Japan. Nepal is trying to reduce its reliance on India through trade agreements with numerous other countries. 188 Chapter 25, Section 1
