hindustan already does that, as they always have been doing.....
it's interesting that the NATO tried this approach already in 2001/02 and it brought them more headache than benefit. Truth is, all these militias and factions all do the same thing; one is not ''better'' than the other necessarily.
but seems that NATO itself has fallen back on that strategy and has opted to sit down with the very same people they've been at war with for over a decade
so my question is -- what can or what will hindustan do that the combined brains/resources/military power that constitute NATO have been unable to do during the 2001-2011 timeframe?
i look forward to your views on it
NATO were successful as long as they played off different militias without involving troops or engaging too closely with the ground situation.
After the soviets left , Afghanistan was relegated to a backburner by the U.S administration , the only incident of note was U.S displeasure at not being able to buy back several stinger hand missiles which they sold to the "mujahideen" several years earlier
...they blamed the ISI for this apparent lack of co-operation.
So all was ignored until the 2001 attacks , after which it was mostly an ego issue with Bush in the region, the subsequent invasion and all was to showcase U.S might and hereafter by a combination of circumstances and bad management of situation ,U.S troops have been bogged down in Afghanistan for a decade without any results.
Now that Obama has finally made the decision to withdraw active military presence ,most analysts agree on common consensus that the erstwhile habit of playing off one group ( eg . Shah Massoud faction, G Hekmatiyar etc as they existed in the interim period after Soviet withdrawal and before the American invasion ) against another is the strategy looming ahead . U.S will in effect still want to be present in the region diplomatically and strategically through their proxies at least.
Little wonder that since Indian agencies have already a presence in the region ( as per latest rumours of Indian consulates , balochistan trouble rousing etc ...which has quite often been spoken off by many posters ), they may want to establish some sort of links with certain factions and play the strategic game from the sidelines for what it is worth . And this time expect our involvement to be several notches higher cause we will probably want to ensure for our security that the Taleban do not re-emerge as the unchallenged dominant force in the Afghan landscape.
To this end if we have to shut down consulates and instead pour in cash and weapons into strengthening say the Hazara community, anti --Taleban tribal leaders etc. We are quite flexible enough to do so. We have a base in Tajikistan and share no direct land border with Afghanistan. We will carry on what we deem necessary for our security without the extent of damage Pakistan has suffered -due to its geographical location.
Its basically a game now between Pakistan influenced proxies --Taleban and rest of the world ( Iran , India, U.S -influenced ) proxies, sad world but such is life .
this time i may not get bharati visa lolzzz
