Indian Role in Afghanistan Spells Danger For Pakistan
Afghanistan continues to be an overt or proxy ‘playing ground’ for diverse outside powers, both near (Russia) and far (US, West). The decade old US meddling after the failure of Russian invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 has yielded more familiar results i.e. exacerbated ethnic and cultural tensions, warlordism, drug-trafficking and rampant corruption. It is not that these traits did not exist in the Afghan society before US invaded Afghanistan but US invasion provided a surge in these attributes.
Afghanistan is a fault line where many outside powers are jostling for both influence and position. Some of this jostling remains overt, as in the case of US and its allies, and some of it is not, as in the case of Indian proxy war on Pakistan through Afghanistan. The Indian activities in Balochistan and Fata got a boost when US homed on to it for replicating its mandate in Afghanistan and preserve its interests post withdrawal. After intense interaction between the respective national security advisors, India agreed to fit into American boots. By doing so India would be benefited on two counts one; by safeguarding US interests in Afghanistan it can accrue more American favors ranging from military to nuclear technology and two; it will expand its anti-Pakistan network in Afghanistan and continue sponsoring terrorist activities across borders into Pakistan. As a first step to place India in Afghanistan, US helped India sign an accord with Karzai titled ‘Strategic Partnership Agreement’ that would allow India exploit its provisions to cement its involvement in Afghan military and civil affairs.
Taking the lead from the ‘Agreement’, India is now geared up to impart extensive training to the fledgling Afghan National Army at training institutions across the country. Three areas have been identified under the ‘Agreement’ so far. One; increase in number of Afghan trainee officers, two; specialized training to already serving mid and higher-level officers in ANA and three: training Afghan soldiers in counter insurgency and counter terrorist operations. The Indian military institutions earmarked for the purpose comprise the Commando School in Belgaum in south India, the Counter-Insurgency and Jungle Warfare (CIJW) School in Mizoram in the north East and the High Altitude Warfare School in Sonamarg, Indian Occupied Kashmir.
While America would expect more from India and subject it to ‘do more’ pressures on Afghanistan, Pakistan has had enough of its bitter rival’s already expanded role in Afghanistan post Taliban regime. There are active negotiations taking place between the US and India to replace US trainers in Afghanistan for providing continuity in training of Afghan security forces once US withdraws from Afghanistan. Whenever and wherever the US trainers have been adjusted they always facilitated CIA and other intelligence agencies carry out their covert activities. Indians replicating the role of US trainers in Afghanistan spells danger for Pakistan. The placement of Indian trainers may create more rifts in the already volatile bilateral relationship between India and Pakistan. Some of the opinion makers even go to the extent to term it on par with Kashmir.
The regional security dynamics in South Asia are driven by the conflict between India and Pakistan. Pakistan fears strategic encirclement by India if the Afghan government leans too much towards India, while India is afraid of Pakistan using Afghanistan as a convenient strategic staging area and a back door. Giving a military role to Indians in Afghanistan will simmer the existing tensions between the two countries on various issues while America wraps up its Afghan venture. With the added dimension of nuclear-armed India – Pakistan rivalry combined with likely strife taking place between the warlords and the central government in Kabul and a perpetual conflict between the warlords and the Taliban may create a civil war that no one would like to happen. It will be in the interest of the region if the US reconciles with the India-Pakistan milieu in the Afghan context and leave Afghanistan to the Afghans to decide their own fate.

Indian Role in Afghanistan or either in IOK — it seems like Saeed Ajmal’s BOWLING & his COMMUNICATION Skills as well — No any personnel of Opponent side Can UNDERSTAND the same tactics or thereafter MANAGER of the Pakistani Team compensate to his already issued Statement – yes but on FAST TRACK/PITCHES(green top) his tactics can-not be tricky. It is by other mean — if we MUSLIMS may TREAT with INDIA like Islamic Militants — India will be on LOSER SIDE – Make a BET — well in ADVANCE.

Is it ? Then Pakistan role in Bangladesh also spells the same for India.India has had centuries years old relations with Kabul in trade and commerse. Silk route of Grand Trunk road is a proof for that. Peshawar express also was plying from Bombay to Peshawar for the same purpose. However due to rugged mountainous terrain, It could not be extended up to Kabul by British. There were two types and categories of people in AFGHN. One is peace loving and India friendly. Other is Aulad of Mohd Gazanvi and Mahmood , Ghori who were the aggressors of ancient India. Unfortunately, Pakistani spirit was formed by the later added by Arab Bin Kasim.
lol so if they’re india friendly then they’re peaceful but if they don’t like u they’re not? get a life u loser. and as for bangladesh, it was part of Pakistan until u started a rebellion, attacked us (without provocation), and separated us. we have every right to be working with the bangalis.
u separated us from bangladesh and now u’re trying to do the same in Balochistan and u still have the nerve to call us the agressors. i think u need to get ur head checked…
@ 321
Note that India attacked east Pakistan from 21 Nov 1971 only. Before that it tried at all world level foram by visiting all western capitals about one crore refugees problem which tremendously increased economic burden on India. It was actually an economic aggression by Pakistan from March to Nov 1971. It was also a deliberate purging out of Hindus from the soil of Bangladesh. You call it an unprovoked aggression by India.
Note that President Nixon of US has neglected the humanitirian problem arising in then east Pakistan. Blood telegram was a proof of that. FINALLY INDIA DECIDED TO INVADE AND SOLVE EAST PAKISTAN CRISES WHICH YAHYA KHAN FAILED TO SOLVE IN PUBLIC INTEREST. Same may happen in Balochistan if Pak govt fails to tackle Baloch problem.
@ gotya… since 1971 all the Bangladeshi govts are indian planted (even today’s govt). How than Pakistan spell the same for india. u talk always rubbish – u don’t let go anything which is against Pakistan.
@ Nad
and that is why General Musharaff preffered to visit Bangladesh when Begam Zia was in power not when Hasina was in power . Begam Zia was pro-pakistan and Hasina is pro-India.Pakistan wants to exploit Naxalites problem through its ISI agents in BD and north east of India.That is why Pakistan is posing a danger.
It’s a bit childish to see everything in the perspective of a zero sum game. So – India is training a few officers in the ANA. Pakistan will probably train most of the Afghan Army….. so?
India has always befooled Pakistan .But Moulana Roomee that Abdul latif Rouf has always succeeded in be fooling India to save and benefit Pakistan and Kashmiris.But in fact he has been proved to be a big fool because despite sacrificing his everything India lured Pakistan into trade and business which may give only a timely respite to Pakistan but India shall turn that opportunity into a hell for Pakistan within months.That is why India is grateful to the present government of Pakistan who never gave a helping hand to Moulana Roomee not even believe that he really possesses the capability to disintegrate and to annihilate India and USA.we are here to cloud all his achievements and capabilities by attributing them to others.Now it is clear that Mr. Zardari and his associates prefer their daughters to sleep with Indians than respect Moulana Roomee which the later has sensed.That is why Moulana Roomee is going to change but India shall actually use her other agents to eventually annex Pakistan than trust him.
