The big question is whether the road construction has been abandoned by the Chinese or not. If yes, then this is a victory for India and a big diplomatic defeat for China. It will show that India has made China bow to its demands and it has even crossed their borders to get it done.
Now it is...
It is now common knowledge that the corruption and depravity of the Indian backed Northern Alliance is the one reason why Taliban have found support and gained control in more than 40% of Afghanistan.

They are fighting the common people who are fed up with the Indian backed Northern Alliance govt of Afghanistan, which exclusively consists of a bunch of extremely corrupt pedophiles.
Who is betting on the wrong people is a matter of perception. Pakistan is backing the Taliban who have been...
You are mistaken to think that Afghanistan is important because of the USA, and you are mistaken to think that India has not tried its hardest to gain influence in Afghanistan. It has and it has been beaten by Pakistan. America wants Pakistan to attack the Afghan Taliban but they have not fought...
I brought up that history because you said that Afghanistan is only important because of American attention. In any case, India might have its interests but the only difference is that it has been sorely beaten for the past 20 years in Afghanistan, and it will continue to be beaten no matter who...
You are right to say that there are no free lunches. But it is never only about the money. Unlike India, which only measures everything in terms of money, and it has even defrauded its vassal state Bhutan, CPEC has much larger benefits for both countries which make this $100 billion investment...
Afghanistan has always had a central role, intentionally or forcibly, in the affairs of South Asia since the times of Alexander. There was a time when the Afghans had influence over the territories of Pakistan, and now the reverse is true. So every country might have a sphere of influence, but...
It says that only the Indian army has withdrawn its troops and there is no mention of Chinese withdrawal or ban on Chinese road construction. Why are Indians happily fooling themselves?

Our strength is the reason why we remain a power player in the world. Since you are an Indian, your prejudices do not allow you to see it. Which is good for us.
For your information, who controls Afghanistan is important for Washington. Why do you think they have been fighting for 16 years and...
Trump has just one single policy, and that is how to get a profitable deal every single time. He has assessed that the Afghan war is a lost cause, and so he wanted to pull out. The Pentagon convinced him not to do so because it would demolish America's stature internationally and would label him...
We are talking to the Americans but they are not listening and they are backing the wrong side. The issue is that they are propping up the Northern Alliance side in Kabul and since the Northern Alliance are the most corrupt and depraved people in Afghanistan, they are bound to fail no matter how...
Defiance is the key word.
Pakistan has been defying India for 70 years. Pakistan has defied the Soviet union. Pakistan is defying the Americans now.
We are not afraid. There is no cost too high for us to preserve our freedom.
Haha! What a funny argument. Nobody is questioning India's aspiration to become a superpower. The only point here is for Indians to keep their loud mouths shut if they don't have the resources or capabilities as yet. Otherwise, it becomes a fact that the "super power aspirer" is nothing but a...
Yes I was reading the same rubbish from Indians about the Mi-35s having been blocked by the Indian government. There is absolutely no limit to their propaganda.
If historical precedence is anything to go by, the Americans tried this hot pursuit nonsense during the Vietnam era and got badly, badly beaten in those operations. Pakistan is much more stronger than those countries and it is backed by the second most powerful country in the world, so I don't...
