Afghanistan: As China forges new alliances, a new Great Game has begun

[Kompromat]

@OrionHunter

India's 2 Billion dollars handout to Afghanistan is all but wasted, exactly as it was expected. Lets wait till the elections, it will pan out.

India's Afghanistan policy should be less and less dependent of the Chinese. India's safeguard of it's own interests greatly depends upon the Iranian,Tajik elements and BSA to be the most vital one. And Indians do know this territory like their own palms as well. Proof of our grasp on Afghanistan affairs goes to the days of first Afghan war when an Indian, Mohan Lal Kashmiri and his intelligence was instrumental in British policies, its consequent success and failures almost 170 years ago.

Nothing has been wasted. The relationship between Afghanistan and India is stronger than ever, not to mention perception of India among common Afghans.

Our problem is the ineptness Karzai is showing during the last days of his reign. His hesitation on signing security agreement with the US is putting Indian interests in utter danger. We can afford spending millions to bribe the warlords which will safeguard our establishment as well.As soon as he signs the treaty, game is ours.

William Dalrymple fancies himself as a newer version of Mark Tully - but he is nowhere in the same league as far as Indophiles go. China will always try to play a balancing act till it has concrete evidence that the state of Pakistan is fanning terror in Xinjiang. Pakistan itself does not know where it is fighting terror and where it is aiding terror. The country is trying its ex-Army Chief for treason while holding peace talks with the Taliban - no one has any clarity on how to deal with Pakistan.

I don't exactly know what could 'waste' mean in your dictionary but here is what those $2billions of India's assistance to Afghanistan really did:

1, Political leverage of India over Pakistan in Afghanistan.

I have a question here. And it is a real question I've always wondered when I see posts like these or talk to people from Afghanistan and Pakistan about each other. So please explain something to me as I am super curious. When I ask how a Pakistani feels about Afghans (a common person), they refer to Afghanistanis as their "brethren". When I ask an Afghan person the same, they HATE the Pakistanis. Why is that? Isn't it true that in the tough times of wars, they've provided cover, shelter and everything else for millions of Afghans? Please enlighten me the reason behind the hate such an anti Pakistani sentiment as I really want to know. Please stay away from abusive language, etc as I am really asking you to learn the reasons. Thank you.

It's funny when Dalrymple said Pakistan had better infrastructure than India a few years ago, all Pakistanis lapped it up and now he is a nitwit and whatnot!

Pakistanis I tell you
