Physical barrier has been a hindrance in interaction with neighbouring countries since ages. Even Vindhya Mountain separated North and South India and it seems funny in present day. But it is not as much as before. **USA and Russia are separated by Bering strait.Still they are not in good terms.

**India could have a very good relation with Pakistan looking at our physical boundary. That boundary could have been a harbinger of scenic beauty.

BUT

Physical barrier juxtaposes with political barrier to make the situation worse.

**Despite having friendly tie with Afghanistan and for not having amicable relation with Pakistan,Indo-Afghan relation is not realising its true potential.

So conclusion is that Physical barrier can be hindrance in maintaining good relation with neighbouring countries for a developing nation.
we can overcome them by
1) Maintaining peace with other countries.

2) Trying to help out each other....

3) Making Good Relationships.

By this measures we can establish peace and harmony among countries.

Physical barriers such as mountains, rivers, and oceans have historically hindered interaction between countries. However, with advancements in technology and infrastructure, these barriers are becoming less of a hindrance in modern times.





One way in which physical barriers have been overcome is through the development of transportation infrastructure. For example:

- The Karakoram Highway, which connects Pakistan and China, is the highest paved international road in the world. It crosses the Karakoram mountain range, which previously made travel between the two countries difficult.
- The India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway is a project aimed at improving connectivity between the three countries. The highway will connect India's northeastern region with Myanmar and Thailand, and will reduce travel time and costs.



Advancements in communication technology have also made it easier to interact with neighboring countries. For example:

- Social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter have made it easier for people in different countries to connect with each other. This has led to increased cultural exchange and understanding.
- Video conferencing technology has made it possible for businesspeople and government officials to communicate with their counterparts in other countries without the need for travel.



Diplomacy and international cooperation have also played a role in overcoming physical barriers. For example:

- The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) is an organization that aims to promote economic and cultural cooperation among its member countries, which include Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. SAARC has helped to reduce tensions and promote cooperation among these countries despite their physical and cultural differences.
- The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), launched by China in 2013, is a massive infrastructure project aimed at connecting China with other countries in Asia, Europe, and Africa. The project includes the construction of highways, railways, ports, and other infrastructure that will facilitate trade and interaction between China and its neighbors.



In conclusion, physical barriers have historically hindered interaction between countries, but advancements in technology, infrastructure, and diplomacy have made it easier to overcome these barriers in modern times. As a result, countries are becoming more connected and interdependent, which has both benefits and challenges.
