Viewpoint: India risks destabilising Afghanistan

[Elixir]

Sorry but it doesnt work so.Hate to admit but Indian political system has got alot mature and we are still struck.

Pakistan has forced india to accept LOC as international border but it is Pakistan which is still in dreams for region upto ladakh.we may indeed see Pakistan and india problem getting solved under MODI in india.Because even last time from the same party Pakistan under musharaf and india under vajpaye were close to get the kashmir problem solved but later our Govt got changed.

Afghanistan can't attack Pakistan.and i am sure you know this much better than me.Beside this Like pakistan enjoy support in kashmir,Afghanistan doesnt even enjoy support among the pashtun belt in Pakistan let alone the rest of Pakistan

Nuclear war between India and Pakistan is not good for Afghanistan plus China supports Pakistan. Referendum is the only solution just like in Ukraine. :-)

Nuclear is will not happen and Afghanistan even than has nothing to do with it.

ISI propaganda. India wants a stable Afghanistan more than any other nation because a stable Afghanistan keeps Pakistan in check.

It is a not true. India is an enemy of the islamic world, enemy of Afghanistan. In the war-time of Taliban and gangsters of North alliance the Indian government gave help and support to the gangsters of North alliance.

India wants not stability in Afghanistan, and wars between Afghanistan and Pakistani people.

I guess Pakistan fears Afghanistan might use these heavy weapons to respond to its shelling of Pashtun villages in Kunar

How certain are you?

Every country wants stability in Afghanistan, they just want their friends in power and the country stable so they can reap the benefits of the relationship.

Throughout history forces/powers issuing out of Afghanistan have raided Hindustan seasonally crossing the Hindu Kush (meaning, kill Hindus). And Afghan rulers have often come down to the Indus valley and beyond to conquer or to defend Hindustani Muslims, the last one being the 3rd Battle of Panipath (1761). Afghan rule extended up to Bengal under the Suri dynasty.Therefore, the rulers of Delhi, basically a power base of Brahmins/rising Hindu nationalists, would be watching the Afghans carefully.carefully. History repeats itself - that is the lesson of history.

iran and pakistan too?

[randolph85]

iran and pakistan too?

duh

especially them.

they want to cause chaos for NATO but not when their allies are in power in the government. nations support one side against another because they believe that one group can realize their interests against another group which is supported by another government. the ultimate goal being that their guys take power and fully realize and cooperate with the foreign power that financed them.

pakistan wanted a paki friendly government to serve as their strategic depth against india, which was not possible if there was war in the country. iran wasn't as heavily invested in the country as pakistan because it was as strategically important to them but they still wanted an iran friendly government to serve as a buffer to the countries which had US bases, again not possible if there was civil war and chaos in the country.

these alliances are usually based on history, commonalities such as religion/ethnicity, or just plain old suit cases full of cash. it is usually a mix of all of these.
