Instead of seeing Taliban for what they are, Khalilzad and his team approached them as ‘noble savages’ battling for their traditional religious values.
Zalmay Khalilzad, who will visit India from 6-7 May, will inform New Delhi about current state of negotiations with Taliban in the light of postponed presidential polls.
As talks dwindle and Taliban announces Operation Al-Fath against the Afghanistan govt, US envoy Zalmay Khalilzad says ‘war is not the answer’, draws criticism.
Here’s what’s happening across the border: World Bank says India-Pakistan trade has potential to reach $37 billion, and Bill Gates appreciates Imran Khan's polio eradication efforts.

The Chinese are said to have hired ex-fighter pilots & air force operators from NATO countries over the past several years to help them fine-tune their operational & flying capabilities.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
India needs to partner with US and send some military contingents to set-up permanent bases in Afghanistan, preferably its eastern border. India has been sending women CRPF contingents to Ebola-infected and riot-prone countries like Liberia, why not send some women officers to Kabul? It will be a nice snub to the misogynist Taliban and the islamist Pakistan. Indian women are strong, but are the Netas and the military baboos bold?
It should now be calmly reworked. Getting 5,400 troops home will not seal victory next year. The Taliban should be willing to suspend violence when serious negotiating are taking place.
Haqqani is one hell son of a bitch…and that is being polite
