I am from India. I am in final year of my B.Tech(CSE) at I.I.I.T Hyderabad.
I knew about this forum at another forum(defence.pk). Actually I wanted to know what are the priorities of an average Pashtoon in their life(Specially Afghan), their perception about India,Pakistan, Taliban and USA . Apart from these I also wanted to know about their cultural aspect so I joined this forum.

SinghisKing,

Hello from a fellow Indian, from N. Delhi/Mumbai
Afghani is a derogatory term used by Pakistanis. The correct word is Afghan. Kindly edit your post.

Welcome and one question?

why Pashtunforums?

[SinghIsKing]

why Pashtunforums?

I have mentioned it in my first post. Another thing is that my country is involved in reconstruction of Afghanistan, so I want to know about those projects and pashtoon's perception about those projects. I am Indian so I want to know whether my government is doing something good for afghan and Indian or not.

Welcome to Pashtun Forums.

I am happy you joined.

I want a clarification about the bold statement. There may be two reasons of this statement.
1) You know me(It is highly unlikely)
2) You read my introduction about why I joined this forum and You felt happy that non-pashtoons are also interested about Pashtoons.(I believe this is the reason).
Which one is correct?

Well if they are reconstructing Afghanistan then that is something good.....but its just confusing me that India is spending money on a different Country then sorting out the problems in India like Slums, poor people etc??...there must be something in Afghanistan for them I guess.

Have you heard the word "Multitasking"?
IMO my government is seriously trying to deny any political space to "Taliban" which is good for India in long run.
One possible another reason is to win confidence of afghan which will be in favour of India because it will open way for trade with central asia and also counter any pakistani miss-adventure.
Ex:- In any pipeline issue (TAPI) afghanistan can force pakistan to not hinder the flow of gas to India.

Not for fighting but only for bargaining. This will be helpful for both India and afghanistan.
