ISLAMABAD : Indian war veterans and strategic analysts have said India should supply heavy military equipment to the Afghan armed forces, including tanks and field artillery.

In an Op-Ed published in New Indian Express newspaper, Maj. Gen. (Retd) G D Bakhshi, said ” Rapidly do capacity building of the Afghan army, so that it has a military edge over the Taliban and can defend its territory against Pakistan’s incursions.”

The Retired Indian Army General further added that India should “Complete the Chabahar-Zaranj-Delaram road and beltway via Iran. Till then, supply tanks, artillery guns, attack helicopters and trainer jets via Russia.”

“Once the Chabahar beltway opens up, it can supply large numbers of T-54/T-55 tanks and 105 mm field guns lying in our depot stocks and salvage yards,” Gen. Bakhshi added.

The Op-Ed by Gen. Bakhshi was published days after a bloody clash erupted among the Afghan and Pakistani forces in Torkham over the construction of border gate by the Pakistani forces.

Harshly criticizing the Pakistani step to seal the Durand Line which has not been accepted as formal border line by Afghanistan, Gen. Bakhshi raised the issue of the Afghan militant groups sanctuaries in Pakistan, including the Taliban group leadership.

Pakistan insists that the step to construct gates along the crossings and fencing the Durand Line is an attempt by the country’s security forces to prevent the movement of the terrorists.

However, the Afghan officials insist on a regional fight against the terrorist groups, including the steps to be taken against the leadership councils of the Taliban and Haqqani Network.

This is not the first time that voices have been raised in India of equipping Afghan Army. In the Afghanistan – India strategic Partnership agreement of 2011, equipping and training of Afghan National Security Forces ANSF was included.

The supply of 4 Military Attack Mi -25 Helicopters from India to Afghanistan is the manifestation of the same ideology which is being developed in the Indian Military and Strategic circles.

India has already helped Afghanistan in acquiring 10,000 Ak-47 Assault Rifles Kalashankovs from Russia in order to boost the ANSF counter insurgency capability.

India is already training over 1000 officers of ANSF annually in the Indian Military and Intelligence Academies and now the strategists are convincing the government that time is ripe for equipping the Indian trained Afghan Army officers against Pakistan on the western front.

The recent incidence at Torkham border over the dispute of constructing gate within Pakistan’s own territory depicts the changing mindset of the Indian trained Afghan Army officers who resorted to brutal firing at Pakistan Army at the borders.

India feeling frustrated after being left out from the Quadrilateral Contact Group ( QCG ) and Afghanistan being frustrated after losing over 5,000 Afghan Army soldiers at the hands of Afghan Taliban in a single year are resorting to such acts of desperation in order to hide their failures.

Strategic analysts in Pakistan are observing the National Directorate of Security NDS and Indian Research and Analysis Wing RAW collaboration now transforming into an open military alliance in the name of countering terrorism in the region.

If americans couldn't do it with billions of dollars, a baniya cannot do it in a 1000 years
 
Hey,
Basically India is using Afghanistan as a proxy against Pakistan to keep PA busy on the western front. India itself cannot fight a war with Pakistan directly so as per policy of her terrorist and babboon NSA, it will fund and equip ANA. While NDS suffering from chronic anti-Pakistanism, is more than willing to cooperate with India. In all my analyses, the only viable solution for Pakistan is not only to fence the border and install the gates but also to support Afghan talibans, we do not need to fear our enemies and we should not accept any dictation from them. Take our friends and allies into confidence and secure their support on diplomatic and other levels. We don't need to fight idiots of ANA.

Do you really feel India will arm or involve any way militarily in Afganistan?...It is absolutely not happening..At the end of the day, It is the responsibility of people of Afganistan to decide their own destiny...India will not make same mistake what US and waste has done by militarily getting involved in Pakistan...India will continue to assist in a humantarian way to Afganistan...

On another note, Pakistan and Afghanistan has to reconcile themselves at any point of time for lasting peace in the region...

I understand your logic but mate you are not the one who's calling the shots....the ring leader in this Indo-Afghan circus is Ajit Doval. He has a different mentality, do you think 5 Indians consulates in a small war torn country and millions of dollars of investment in making dams and other infrastructure is just on humanitarian basis I mean there many African countries even more deserving than Afghanistan but India does not show even 10% of the interest and India does not even share a single border with Afghanistan. That's not how baniyas do business sir...they look for their interests and profits. Though I'm pretty sure that no amount of investment on ANA can make it strong enough even to take care of its boundaries and a credible force against Talibans. ANA is an undisciplined, unorganised force with no professionalism and traditions. It is more like a junta of weed smoking part time criminals unlike IA or PA.

One mi-35 was blown up by Afg talis through IED & now how many of them are left ??
• India will equip ana but the question is who going to give assurances that these toys will not end up with talis !!

• Chabahar route to afg will give head ache's to India,when it becomes functional then we Pakistanis would like to congratulate Afg govt & afghans can raise the slogans of Afg-ind zindabad... but after one year afg traders will change the route towards Pakistan bcz of losses & most likely prices of daily use items will go up...after that if afg govt try to import things through Pakistan to reduce prices of daily use items then we shouldn't sell it cheaper as it is now, increase tax's but keep it competitive...
• India itself recognizes Durand line as international border haha...Afg can cry about Durand line, no one cares.. We will keep building gates & we will fence border where it's needed & won't allow illegal immigrants..
