India wants to deny Pakistan strategic depth in Afghanistan: US report

[Paksanity]

Easier said than done... Pakistani Establishment is so in the bed with Haqquanis that their entire control Afghanistan through Taliban strategy is literally anchored on Haqqanis... Sending Haqquanis back would mean betraying them(at least to haqqani's it would seem so).... that would give rise to another problem for Pakistan.....

Don't worry about us. Save your strategic partner. If you can that is! Lest they start doubting your might.

Well.. we are doing a pretty good job at it ... unlike Pakistan where leadership lost a great opportunity.

the funny part is:

A)is the US realising this only now?
b) and Pakistanis here were not aware of this so far that once the US found this (most guarded secret) , the Pakistani's have some how become agitated.......

They chose you during Taliban era. And thats all you can offer even now. Ghani chose you too did he not? He had the mistaken belief that all Pakistan wanted was a friendly neighbor who would keep India at bay. What did he realise? Nothing but the fact that pakistan has hegemonic designs on Afghanistan, and those stem from Pakistans own weakness in their pashtun belt.

About your comment of leaving Afghanistan over their dead bodies, such illusions of grandeuer seem common among trouble makers. Its one thing to create trouble, another to be constructive. You can be a nuisance, or rent your sovereignty and ports and airfields for the right price, but incapable of doing good, as Ghani found out.

exactly Ghanis views, then you wonder who are they taking lessons from

Really?? How? By having a meeting with NSA of Kabul mayor? That's it?

Bactrian kingdom? Yes which overruled India after the death of Ashoka and declined of Mauryan empire and they were from Afghanistan. It ain't a very weak country. But India started misusing this land when they were facing in great deal of terrorism and think to rule them. It never means they will let India rule them. India need to stop using Afghanistan against Pakistan and Afghanistan against its own territory.

India has no influence in Afghanistan. India has no border with Afghanistan no social ,cultural , ethnic or economic linkages or relationships with Afghanistan. Pakistan has the largest number of afghan refugess . . . . . .

Off course.

But this thread is all about a recent

report on Afghanistan, which is prepared as research and reference material for US lawmakers, includes a brief description of India’s Afghan policies.

Please read OP before commenting.

Sometime it is useful to put on the thinking cap of the opposing side. If you were India, what would you be trying to do in Afghanistan right now?

Naaah.

Bharatis have tried to use Afghanistan against Pakistan since 1947.

The issue is this damned Af-Pak border that some in Afghanistan refused to accept.

Issue was there and Bharat exploited it.

You gotta read what "Abhul Rehman Pizzwak" of Afghanistan used to blabber about Pakistan.

That's what the report in OP says.

India has no say in Afghanistan, its losing influence brick by brick. Afghans have picked their side.

You have been repeating that for the last 3-4 years. I still remember how happy you guys were when Ashraf Ghani was elected, things did not change much, did they?

I'm amazed at your hypocrisy. If America or India try anything 'India/ Amreeka will lose coz Afghans are proud people and defeated everyone'.

But if Pakistan- Afghans are losers, we can use them as our backyard, strategic depth etc. America, Afghans and Indians think you're a problem. You think all of the others are and should not complain.

Yes. And that is why we have the situation we have. The report does not add anything new to the mix. What Pakistan must do to counter it is also clear.
