And as a asides let me make this clear. If looked at objectively Afghanistan is where it is today entirely thanks to itself. Ditto Pakistan. Blaming others is sport of the immature. The fact is Pakistan get's flack from Afghans for intervention. Well that sounds kind of unfair. Why?
Well first and foremost every country that had a erect pe*nis had a go at Afghanistan. Russia, Iran,. USA, India, China, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Saudia Arabia. You name it. The only differance is some got full on penetration like Russia and USA whereas others only got hand jobs. That I am afraid is the reality and you my friend should know this. Have you forgotten who refused to recognize Pakistan in 1947? Not recognizing a country is not good way to begin relations with a neighbour.
Than Afghnistan was happy with the British soldiers sitting on the Durand Line but as soon as they left in 1947 Afghans turned on Pakistan. Why? Was "Gora Sahib power" to be respected? Well you know what happened during President Ayub Khan;s rule. Fighting broke off betwen Af-Pak forces with the former getting thrashed (Ayub was ethnic Pashtun. I mention this because Afghan's love turning Pak into a ethnic riven state overlooking their own cracked polity along the Tajik, Hazara, Turkmen, Uzbek, Pashtun divides)
We move further. Afghans started to dance with Russians. We know that led to full on Soviet invasion and mass destruction of Afghanistan by Russians. Was that Pakistan's fault. The fact is Pakistan has intervened in Afganistan but less so than other players yet Afghan angst is only focussed on Pakistan. It is like victim of
gang rape can only recollect
one abuser and get's convenient memory loss with the
rest.
And I want you to imagine that Pakistan had stayed within the British Indian borders in 1947. Do you really, really think New Delhi would have given Afghanistan the whole of KPK or renounced the Durand Line? Are you? I have come across Indian Hindutwa warriors who claim "cultural India or historical India" as far west as Kandahar/Kabul. Ditto with Balochistan.
All the Indian reaction you see here is direct consequence over the "b*tching hurt" they feel over what they regard was their right. The handing over to them of all of what the British had built in South Asia over 200 year period. That they did not get the western portion of the British gifted "British Raj" is what drives Indians.
Here a trip down memory lane. It was USA that was behind the Afghan Jihad. It was Russia behind the Soviet invasion of Afganistan. Read the "Bear Trap" or "Operation Cyclone". Pakistan was just third party conduit.
