(CAA) policy of 2012 is a comprehensive framework that encompasses political,
cultural, economic, and security connections. The main objective of the

has a significant historical connection to India. It covers a wide range of
significant issues, such as regional connectivity, information technology (IT),
political collaboration, economic cooperation, strategic cooperation,
cooperation in education, medical cooperation, regional grouping cooperation,
and people-to-people contacts. This article outlines the growing significance

Central Asian countries are struggling under authoritarian regimes in practice
despites they have adopted democratic principles in the their country’s
constitution. The study critically inquire democratic practices in the five
Central Asian countries. Furthermore, India has emerged a recognised democracy
worldwide. In this context, the paper is emphasising upon the importance of
