What's new

The Hindu: A great game that all sides can win

. . . .
What Pakistan could do in return is to acknowledge that as an important regional actor, India too has legitimate interests in Afghanistan, and also as a route to Central Asia. After all, if Pakistan considers itself to be the guard at the geo-strategic gateway to Afghanistan, it must also recognise that squatting at the entrance can only serve to neutralise rather than increase the gate’s geo-strategic importance. On the other hand, India-Pakistan cooperation in Afghanistan could open up a world of opportunities for both, and who knows, maybe even lead to the resolution of some old mutual problems. As both countries grapple with new tensions on the Line of Control, Afghanistan may seem secondary on the bilateral agenda. In reality, it may be too late already.

Why should Afghanistan be of any concern to India? India does not even border Afghanistan? It has no business in Afghanistan

If India needs access to Central Asia, then the first immediate country that borders India, is Pakistan, not Afghanistan. Thus if India wants route to Central Asia, it should be negotiating with Pakistan for the access.

This makes me wonder if Indians are retarded. Those blind retards can't even read the map right...

Te "retard" is the guy who doesn't seen Indian investments in a port in Iran & a road from there to Afghanistan. It is precisely because we do not want to be negotiating for access with Pakistan that we look for alternate ways. We trade plenty with the U.S., doesn't happen to share a border with us. Nor does most trade with China take place through land borders.

Actually it has, Indian companies have already made deals for mining.

A few months ago, Afghan farmers came to Indian agricultural science institutes.

And there are a substantial number of Afghan students who come to India to learn, Hamid Karzai did a brief stint in India I believe.

As long as India doesn't poke it's head militarily, but is there to develop commercial and cultural links. That's O.K.

im not concerned or contesting any of your points but instead of blaming inida look for the mistakes you had done on your own

"aapne apne pair pe khud kulhari mari hai "...woh kaise mai batat hoon

1. when you got the independence instead of going whole hog in abolishion of feudalism and honest land reforms to make pakistani population free in real terms your establishment delibratelli send the faridi raiders to attck kashmir and in return india took over kashmir and you made a big enemy instead of making pakistan a beter nation state

2.USSR was a reality and wanted to help pakistan and afghanistan with trade,eductaion and development but was against the idea of feudalism and relegeon based politicks so your elite took the easy way and went in to support USa for free arms and monitarry aid and agreed to give your strategick ari bases to being used aginst USSR and in return India took advantage and USSR helped india to set up colleges , technical universities and industrial infrastructure

3.instead of making an effort with afghanistan to have an enviorment of peace and goodwil pakistani establishment chose to use afghanistan as a stretegig retreat against india and played in hands of arab oil rich muslim states who were terrified of the idea of cheap oil from central asia

4.Afghanistan itself was aginst the Pakistan as a nation state from the very bigening and even voted against it from biggening and still dosent acepts durand line and pakistan as a nation ...lolzzz even during pro pakistan taliban rule afghanistan dint comply with pakistani demand to acept durand line as an international border and a nation state ....as they say "log wi thore zalim san kuch sannu maran da showk we thaa"

point is pakistani foreign affairs ,economick growth road mad &histori in milking the central asian oil and trade routes ibs a pthetick story of "blunders,plunders&surrenders"

why blame the world for conspiring against you when you yourself are your biggest enemy...but good luck for future

US helped Pakistan in many fields; though ironically Pakistan's biggest steel plant has been set up with help of Soviet Union.

On Topic> I hope this issue gets solved and US, China, Pakistan, CARs and India, all benefit from the mineral wealth of Afghanistan.

that is not possible till pakistani fauj changes its fixation about india and that will not happen as india and china are both compatitors , though indian route is more economical still pakistan will never let india be a beneficiarry of something to do with it

as i said it some where an old saying describes it perfectli ..."bhabhi bole khoonte se farwaa loongi per dever ko nahi doongi":D
