A powerful do not pity the weak. India is friendly to afghans not because afghan r very sweet people but to annoy pakistan. India is very bossy & troublesome for its tiny neighbours, it is true migraine.
If india was in the shoes of pakistan, they would have also kept K.pakhtunkhwa & balochistan . you can build up the rest of possible scenario.

Jodigul this is speculation. Similarly, one can say China is being nice to Pakistan so they can annoy India, and then they will be just as troublesome. It is not logical.
About the issue of durand line, well you are partially right, India had the same stupid stand (prior to partition) that Pakistan had...as they say birds of a feather flock together.
The point isn't to be supportive of one blindly, but what is our interest. What can't we as Pashtuns look for our interests..why does everything come down to India v Pakistan?
I can build a lot of "possible scenarios".
@bls
Actually i can not digest when an afghan says than pakistan is devil, india should have been neigbour of afghanistan. They forget that with greater india pakhtuns would have become enslaved, neglected, & target of hindu-muslim tension.

No Jodigul, you are shifting into hyperbole. The reality is that we Pashtun in our unity survived empires, what on earth would India do to us that will stop our survival? Pashtuns under a one unit like Afghanistan would have solidified our position politically. We have never been the largest of states around us, but we were never harrassed like we are today (due to our division). So what you saying has no historical precedent.
ma kho wii chi to charta pakhtun ye.... kho ma ghalata andaza sta pa bara kii lagawali wa, how dare you abuse our pashtun land, you say thanks to Allah (swt) that afghans/pashtuns are protecting you from these hindues.
Za marha, pa khabaray rogh poha na ye awo ghooray zhay
Age of afghans/pashtuns are over, gone are the days when they used to intimade india. Gandhi & congress were just using bacha khan, they had no intentions of giving NWFP back to afghanistan. According to akhand bharat theory afghanistan is also part of great india. So it is possible that india in the form of neigbour of afghanistan wud have been great threat and bully to the country.

Akhand bharat is a dead idea..has little weight in today's politics. I am aware that Congress had no intention of returning Pashtunkhwa back to Afghanistan. but guess what neither did or does Pakistan (then muslim league). That doesn't justify one over the other.
If the age of Pashtuns is over, then what difference does it make who your master is? None of them are clearly islamic or pashtun. BTW no one is talking about intimidation, but the world is not a cowboy movie either where one country can just roll over another (US or russia excluded)....India is one of the many regional powers, but it is not the only one...so again you are just trying to put forward an obscure example.
^What about the use of afghanistan soil by india to do terrorism in pakistan? are you ok with it.
Jodigul this is bordering the point of nonsense. Say for the sake of argument India is doing so, but so is Pakistan. Why are you defending one over the other? Afghanistan is the moranee watan of pashtuns, this is a fact...india has nothing to do with pashtun identity or loyalty. You are holding on to very weak arguments. Now please leave this paradigm of Pakistan and India, let them worry about their interests...you worry about Pashtun/Afghan interest. Loll a state has raped our resources and home for 63 years but you are defending their stand tooth and nail.
