India and Pakistan had been struggling on the basis of equality for influence in Afghanistan and Central Asia. Despite some deficiencies Pakistan was in a much better position prior to the occupation of Afghanistan by the US. By becoming the client state of America in its so called war on terror Pakistan has not only lost its strategic space but handed over its sphere of influence to American led forces and India who both have interests contrary to Pakistan. On the other hand the Indo-U.S relationship has entered a new phase of strategic partnership and the Indo-U.S nuclear deal was its manifestation.
After the regime change in America the world of President Obama was different. USA is stuck in the quagmire of Afghanistan and is facing a resurgent Taliban threatening the very existence of the American led coalition on Afghan soil. Domestically the economic meltdown and the military failure in Iraq contributed to the free fall of the once lead super-power.A four month review was initiated by Obama on Afghanistan.The outcome of the review was that Pakistan and Afghanistan were bracketed into AFPak and a contact group consisting of India, Iran, Russia and China was formed on the pretext of a so called regional solution.The team that stabilized Iraq by unleashing a deadly chaos and implementing a typical divide and rule policy is now focused on AFPak namely Gen Petraus, Lt.Gen Stanley McChrystal and special viceroy on AFPak Mr. Richard Holbrooke.
Without the help of Pakistan the US cannot even stay for a week in Afghanistan and to implement the chaotic policy of AFPak, it is important to consume Pakistan in the USs so called war on terror with undivided attention. The Indian presence in Afghanistan is a major distraction for Pakistan. Particularly after the Bombay blasts in November 2008 the situation worsened and the two countries were again at the brink of war. Source - Pakistan Ideology
