It’s of little strategic importance for us. If Pakistan thinks it can control Afghanistan where Britain, Russia and America at the peak of their power failed, wish them luck.
The proposed amendment to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code aims to reduce timelines and provide for a mechanism that involves minimal interaction with the court. It fails on both counts.
Open to public feedback until 26 November, the revised guidelines, among other changes, give CA firms more flexibility to advertise & promote their services.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
Leave, once an anti Pakistan establishment takes shape. Right now it is pro Pakistan group who is calling the shots. There is good merit in promoting Pukhtoonistan movement which will combine Pakistani Pakhtuns and Afghanistan Pakhtuns into one nation. Situation is rife for this to take place. Once it starts, India will have no business in Afghanistan.
S.GUPTA is appreciated for continuity and fidelity in his ideas. This article deserves to be studied by all the experts – or supposedly – of the Afghan question, but also by the MEA bureaucrats and of course by the students. This article is visionary: it clearly explains what the Afghan question is, the stakes, the risks for India. It shows that many states have gone astray in Afghanistan. India, staying away from this country, would be a winner in the long run. Perhaps there lies the solution to the division of 1947. Afghanistan could be Vietnam from Pakistan. We have also seen the consequences of the arms race launched by the United States, on the USSR. Afghanistan could eventually lead to the break-up of Pakistan.
Agree entirely. If we are generous, we should acknowledge that Pakistan has more legitimate interests in Afghanistan than India does. A long border, the Durand Line, which is in contention, Pathans and other refugees living in Pakistan. Our one abiding fear is of terrorism arising out of this Af – Pak entity. China and Russia are equally concerned, for they have restive Muslim populations living close by. Economically, Afghanistan is of little consequence to India, although it is believed to have a trillion dollar hoard of minerals. Let Pakistan earn America’s gratitude by brokering an honorable exit from a war that has become a quagmire. 2. Afghans have suffered enormously over the last forty years. The world should be generous with its financial assistance for reconstruction. My one abiding request to the Taliban would be : The girls and women of Afghanistan have tasted freedom, with education and economic empowerment. Don’t send them back behind a veil, let them breathe free.

“The world should be generous with its financial assistance for reconstruction.”
