Indians and Americans Weapons Used By Tehreek-e-Taliban Terriost

Arundhati Roy is neither a reporter nor a policy analyst. She primarily does social commentary as a celebrity literary figure turned activist.

There are others who in a professional capacity issue genuine criticism of Indian policy.

Yes you are right, that is why I used the word 'scholar' not 'analyst'. At that time her name popped up in my mind and I wrote 'there are scholars like Arundhati Roy who inspite of their Indian background report unbiasedly.

She isn't reporting anything, and certainly not in a scholarly capacity. That is my point.

She's a celebrity activist, and in that capacity it is her job (and right) to be as inflammatory as possible. Nonetheless, taking her word as a credible objective analysis isn't a very good idea.

 

[Skeptic]

I am assigning weight to her arguments here since she based them on personal experience and interactions - travel to Afghanistan and interaction with the 'players' involved, and her interactions at the Indian consulates.

If she had said, 'I believe', without the reference to her personal experience/research in arriving at the conclusions she did, I would have been more skeptical.

Obviously hers is not the final word, but it does support the arguments made by Pakistan on this issue, and she isn't a Pakistani.

If however you were merely baiting me to throw the video you posted earlier in my face, let me point out that towards the end she clarified that there was no evidence linking the Pakistani establishment with the Mumbai attacks.

Was I baiting you? Ofcourse I was....

Can't you see I am stuck with 99 thanks from 198 posts and that video would have taken me to my century with a Big bang, atleast 6-7 thanks from my Indian friends....

Only if you had played enough cricket, you'd have known the importance of getting to one's hundred with a sixer.... Its an amazing feeling. And also I think my strike rate ain't too bad either... just from 200 posts is good I think specially for an Indian member of

What i do not understand is this if there is a terrorist attack in Pakistan with remote detonated Bombs why do not we return the favor in Afghanistan the day after i am sure message will be herd loud and clear back off or blown off.

Its our security and Government should be willing to go to any length to send out a message and a clear one 2.

As to the the US establishment not officially endorsing Indian complicity in terrorism in Pakistan, once could argue that a conflict of interest in terms of economic and strategic ties with India prevents the US from officially recognizing India's role in such activity - national interest is not based on altruism after all.

You're right, national interest may not be based on altruism, but it certainly isn't ambivalent to suicide.

Potential economic interests in India do not outweigh our investment into Afghanistan and Pakistan. The fundamental approach to this issue revolves around preventing another level of subversive warfare in and around that region, not letting it slip by for local players to settle scores; and especially not when we're footing the entire bill. The primary bulk of our economic interests with India provide returns in the absence of conflict.

There you go

That second to last post of yours surprised me, rather unlike you - hence the harsh response from my side.

Man all this confirm my theories about indian consulates on Pak-Afghan border (in the other threat about indian consulates)!!!

The GoP must protest and force Afghan goverment to close all those meanless indian consulates....they are just being used agianst Pakistan. Comon people india is a poor country with 50% of it's own population living beyond the poverty line, how could you expect that they will spend billions of $ to reconstruct Afghanistan?? (yeah they surly are spending millions of $ to support terrorism in Pakistan instead!) they have spend some millions in the reconstruction of Afganistan but thats nothing....to really help all those poor Afghani they have to spend billions $ which indian simply can't...so they spend some buks to cover up their real goals which they want to achieve against Pakistan! beside their meanless propaganda and spending all those bucks to destabilize Pakistan rather to feed their own population which is dying from hunger, Aids etc!

We all know it very well that Pakistan and India are enemies, we were enemies and we will remain enemies! so there is nothing strange if indians are supporting terrorism against Pakistan.....the only thing is that we must realize that it's better to have two faces, in front of the world you act like friendly nations and in the back stage harm india as much as possible (like they are doing to Pakistan)!

Subliminal slip Mr. Sergent rehan!!!!

But even if the weapons are Indian and American, that does not automatically implicate India and America. There are Chinese and Pakistani weapons being used as well for example.

Come on AM lets be rational when making assumptions shall we? Pakistan won't supply arms to destroy it self and China well because Pakistan and China have a strategic partnership, Chinese won't do it either. On the contrary what does history tells us about India......71, Siachin, Kashmir. And as far as US is concerned, it just wants to have something which could grant it the right to intervene in Pakistan in the name of securing nuclear weapons and stabilizing Pakistan so it makes sense. Moreover lets not forget that even US Isnt too happy about the Chinese involvement in Gawdar.

Protesting and telling US about indian evil design will not do anything. Real answer should be Pakistan let some of these Taleb know that people in Kashmir are under hindu occupation and repression and push them in right direction - to other side of LOC. By the way how far it is from NW province to Kashmir border? And Pakistan should remember to remind the world Taleb were pushed and armed by indo-US nexus.

question to all
what was the situation during USSR invasion of Afghanistan and the support provided by all Allies to Taliban, did USSR ever find a smoking gun and confront the USA or Pakistan etc.
We all know it was during the Cold war. But did USSR accuse directly?
