Afghan Taliban are allies of Pakistan and have links with LeT, al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups. India realised this fact during the negotiations to release the passengers of IC-814 in 1999.

stop getting so worked up about this. First of all realise the fact that another terror attack and Pak players will be refused visas. Franchises don't want to take such a risk with their money. Secondly Pak players are good but many of them court controversy and de-stablise teams. Afridi made...

The article - Asia Times Online :: South Asia news, business and economy from India and Pakistan Ahsan_R - it does not matter what you think is the truth. You must realise that economic growth and development of Pakistan is the only thing that will get Pakistan respect from the outside world...

fateh71 lol!

Ahsan_R - you are living in denial man! It has pledged about US$750 million to Afghanistan's reconstruction since 2002 and is today the fifth-largest bilateral donor in Afghanistan after the United States, Britain, Japan and Germany. This places India among the big players in the country. India...

Well it's in India's interest to ally with Afghanistan. This prevents Pak getting strategic depth in Afghanistan. India actually has money and equipment to help Afghanistan - what does Pak have except training to become jihadis ?

Abu Zolfiqar - sorry to say that such attacks will never help the Kashmiri people or Pakistan. Violence begets violence. Just when Kashmir was calming down and troops are being pulled out - such an attack has taken place. The best hope fore everyone is a peaceful solution. 2 decades of trying...

@thomas - reason why Taliban was not reined in is so that India can't influence Afghanistan. Northern Alliance were friends of India and Russia. That's why the distinction between good Taliban and Bad Taliban. Good Taliban are the ones who can help keep India out of Afghanistan by insisting no...

hmmm - great lookalike theory by Kasab! Wonder if he has got in touch with the ISI :)

taimikhan - Congrats to the Pak army for back to back successful operations in Swat and South Waziristan. The writ of the Pak government is working in both areas now and that is a relief as no one wants non-state actors to take law into their own hands. I think most thankful are the people of...

No - government of Pakistan has accepted that he is a Pak national. In fact they have arrested Lakvi and LeT terrorists for the attacks after US pressure.

Thank god Kasab was caught - else Pakistan would have washed it's hands off the attack. The world would have notbelieved our side of the story as well. Today there is not a single person in the West who does not know about the LeT - it's links with the ISI and Pakistan has been discredited...

hmm.. Mastan Khan - i guess it's pointless then - I say he is a Pakistani (so does 90% of the rest of the world and Pak government, FBI etc.!) - you disagree.. I agree that you have the right to disagree. Sorry but my knowledge of Punjabi accent is rather limited but I know that Kasab and...

lol.. I think we want Russia to be the second umpire and US as the third umpire (in case of referrals) - but seriously what will war achieve ? And what did Mumbai achieve except creating more hatred and problems?

taimikhan - I don't think the nuclear sub will be used to against Pakistan - it's for China. But yes - every nuke power needs a second strike capability. Nuclear subs are the best option for that. Not one but 3 or 4 subs so that you have the capability in place 24X7 365 days a year. One sub...

Mastan Khan - Yea lets start the war in the subcontinent - just leave your nukes aside and wait till we destroy your Army, Navy and Air Force - it's a no contest an Indo - Pak war so why even talk about it.

Mastan Khan - man chill out. There is no point trying to prove Kasab is not Pakistani - he had been trained to confuse people if he was caught - how do you know if language training was not part of his training. Btw he is a brightchap - heard he has learnt some Marathi during court proceedings -...

well lets see - Turkey's a democracy so is Bangladesh (in most parts). Indonesia is a flourishing democracy. I think there is a problem with certain regions of the world rather than Islam itself.

do kashmiris like u hindu indians ?? Hindu Indians - 130 millions Muslim indians, 20 million christians, 20 million Sikhs will take offence! Kashmiris in Indian Army - Lots - JAKRIF, JAKLI, Ladakh Scouts come to mind!

blain2 - I feel that maybe the government in India has more legitimacy (democracy). So maybe the media projects things in a more positive way. Media as we know has to sell papers ! They will write what will sell ! Maybe in Pak there is more of an anti-establishment feeling among the people and...
