Is it just oratory and glib talking that are driving people to vote for a party, as The Author/The Print seem to believe. People now are aware who can make a difference. These “youth” are just windbags. People want results and they know where to look for them. Not towsrds the Left anymire!
India will discover its true role and relevance in Afghanistan once it sees the country as something more than one more proximate theatre for proxy conflict with Pakistan.
What an idiotic thought process. What are shameful understanding of history. WOW!!! Talking foreign policy is fashion for some ignorant, half-read people on this website.
Aap apni baat kar rahe lagte hain. Don’t be so harsh with yourself. Aadmi banta hai insaan badi mushqil se.
Stop philosophising ashok when discussing geo-politics. Just because you have NO substance to offer in terms of hard facts. Media criticism is not be all and end all that you keep harping on. Pulwama nahin dikhta par 5 log marne par “this has been going on for 30 years”. WOW!!! Insaaniyat ki baat kariyega jab balanced viewpoint dene ki shamta rakhte hon. Till then be ready for counter arguments.
This is a bad idea that has been supported by the likes of Happymon Jacob, a JNU professor and a dedicated supporter of China. It’s a defeatist attitude that believes that India has very little power in Kabul, when in fact, India has close relationship with those currently in power. India also has overwhelming support of the Afghans. Those who ask India to engage with the Taliban never explain what engagement means. In fact, there is nothing that Taliban has to offer India in exchange for even engaging with them and thereby lending them credibility by that engagement. We are better off retaining our current relationships and for preparing to support the opposition should the Taliban capture power. Note that of the 40 major towns of Afghanistan, Taliban holds none of them. Any talk of Taliban influence overestimates their power while underestimating the power of Taliban’s opponents. Just remember that a stalemate for the Afghan govt is also a stalemate for Taliban. And a stalemate is still a win for India because it prevents Pakistan and jihadi organizations from using Afghanistan as a base for terror against India.
