For this study the most recent data of Monthly closing stock prices indices taken for the period November, 2003 to November, 2013. Correlation matrix was applied for finding associationship between stock markets which shows evidence of integration of India and Indonesia equity market. All the variables are found stationary at 1st Difference by applying unit root test. The Johansen and juselius co integration approach was applied for checking the long run relationship between variables which confirms only one cointegrating equation. Granger Causality test reveals that stock market of Srilanka is granger caused by India, Indonesia and Malaysia stock market. While there exist unidirectional causality from India, Malaysia and Indonesia to Srilanka stock market. This study found no long run relationship of Pakistan stock market with any other stock market. The variance decomposition implies that variances in stock markets of Pakistan and India are due to their own market innovation and other markets have no contribution to them.
