India will be Taliban's next target: Ex-NSA Narayanan

self interest drives being extremely nice with neighbors.

Yes, India wants to be extremely nice to Pakistan.

India wants free flow of trade between the countries so that both our population flourish. We cannot be held hostage to history. We have to move on. India has learned to move, but Pakistan has not.

All India can do next to nothing about the terror infrastructure in Pakistan, all it can do is sure up its own security- Ie all it can do is fight the symptoms and not the cause. Pakistan is going to have sort its own issues out and hopefully long-term this will happen but there is little India can conceivably do to reduce the terror threat it faces. As such measures such as high-tech fencing along its land borders, expanding the Indian Coast Guard and installing a network of radar/EO tracking stations (measures it has taken) is about as much as it can do.

Agree with you there mate but unfortunately the Indians have aspirations of their own ''Neptune Spear'' just like we Pakistanis have our own delusions, we both need a realistic analysis of our situation and the way forward.....

its not India's responsibility to focus on our problems, just deal with your own **** before trying to remind the world of ours, and as for the number of terror organisations I stand corrected you have 65 organisations to deal with
65 terror groups active in India: Govt - The Hindu
try and google naxalism etc on India's terrorist incidents, I am not starting a dick measuring contest but giving plain facts....

Silly..you are. The number "65" might have excited you but the extent, intensity and scope of the supposed "terror" groups is suspect. Here are some numbers that ought to help you rethink.

In 2013, terrorism related violence caused losses of 181 lives in India. This, as opposed to 5379 fatalities in Pak. That's nearly 30 times the deaths in India, courtesy of the "65 terror groups".

Annual Fatalities in violence by terrorist
Fatalities in Terrorist Violence in Pakistan 2003-2014

The term "terror group" is often loosely defined to help identify and tackle likely irritants to security. However, the mere tag of a "terror group" does not suggest potential to cause nationwide mayhem and casualties. Clearly, despite India having more "terror groups", Pak has a lot more to worry about, in its own backyard - courtesy of the home-bred fanatics.

Yes, India wants to be extremely nice to Pakistan.

India wants free flow of trade ....

Dominating Pakistani market with Indian goods is not best example of being nice (instead that is 110% self interest)

Hope you see the weakness of your argument

All India can do next to nothing about the terror infrastructure in Pakistan,.

Both India and Pakistan are infested with terror infrastrucutre.

your one sided comment reeks of prejudice

"India will be the next target of terror groups like Taliban operating in Afghanistan if they succeeded in capturing power in the war-ravaged country, former national security adviser MK Narayanan said here on Monday."

It's a BIG IF actually. I won't even venture into the WHEN.

The Taliban will venture towards Kashmir only once their objectives in Afghanistan are met. Deny them Afghanistan, and Kashmir wont enter their head.

The World community is vigilant enough this time around to not allow afghanistan to fall back into the hands of Taliban. The country has a capable military force now, equipped with some decent firepower too. Once the ISAF/US withdraws, there won't even be many foreign targets for the Taliban to hurt and claim the tag of liberators like before.

I agree with first part totally ...

Regarding second part ...
world does not really much care what happens to Afghanistan beyond its own interests ....
Us is busy to extricate itself from the war that left trillion dollar hole in its economy ...

they have little love for Afghanistan ...off course they won't like it to be gone to Taliban ..

but extricating themselves whatever cost and terms may be ...is their priority ..

we have much to fear ...if they get hold of Afghanistan ... which is a possibility ! we are likely to see spill over in Kashmir ...

Not at all. Trade is never one sided. Trade is done based of comparative advantage. If trade would have been evil, except US and some western countries, all the other country in the world would have been finished long time ago.

getting really tired of Indian sensitivity and and blind chauvinism, reread my post and see how you misinterpreted it....

Think Laos during Veitnam war

It is not good to compare dead bodies. As that is very gory business. (and gory is not a white girl)

What terror infrastructure does India have that threatens Pakistan?

 

[FaujHistorian]

... how you misinterpreted it....

Mis-intpretation is the younger sister mis-education.

What terror infrastructure does India have that threatens Pakistan?

Terror infrastructures FIRST threaten their own neighbors and then expand (when possible) go beyond the immediate neighborhood.

How about you answer my question- what terror infrastructure does India have?

it helps to read good authors.

Not at all. Trade is never one sided.
