Ahhh you want some cheese with that

I am going to have Hyderabadi Biryani with Mirchi ka salan.

Come on now Indians, don't be so scared and be brave. We're only talking about 100,000 Indians troops in Afghanistan.

To help the Indian and Afghans in their war effort, Pakistan has already deployed 150,000 troops on the Durrand Line. If needs be, Pakistan is willing to dispatch another 100,000 troops to the Afghan border.

Indians don't need to be so nervous. Just believe in yourself, believe that you can do it. Just don't let your Afghan brothers down. Just because the rest of the world is abandoning Afghanistan these days, there's no need for India to follow others like sheep.

Afghan president Hamid Karzai hands India weapons 'wish list'


ANDREW BUNCOMBE WEDNESDAY 22 MAY 2013

Afghanistan's president, Hamid Karzai, today said he had handed a “wish list” to India seeking greater military and civilian support to fill the vacuum created by the withdrawal of Western next year – an undertaking that is likely to spark anxiety in neighbouring Pakistan.

On a two-day visit to India during which he has sought to build on an agreement signed in 2011, the Afghan leader claimed he was not permitted to go into specific details of the military hardware what he had asked for.

“We have a wish list that we have put before the government of India and it’s up to the government of India [to decide],” he added.

India already has an extensive, $2bn cooperation programme with Afghanistan and has supported road-building and the establishment of hospitals. It also trains Afghan police and army officers at military colleges in India. Mr Karzai said he wanted to “broaden” India’s support to fill the vacuum when up to 100,000 Western combat troops leave next year.

Mr Karzai is aware that India’s involvement in Afghanistan is of intense concern to Pakistan, a country that has always had a tense relationship with Kabul but whose role in liaising with the Taliban will be crucial to a peaceful transition – something he again acknowledged.

Afghanistan’s relationship with Islamabad has faced particular challenges in recent weeks, following border skirmishers between Afghan and Pakistani troops along the disputed Durand Line.

Speaking today to a group of Indian and international journalists, he again sought to reassure Pakistan that Afghanistan’s relationship with India should not be of undue concern.

“Afghanistan is a sovereign country and like all sovereign countries has the right to choose its own friends,” he said. “Pakistan is a neighbour, it is a close neighbour and the people of Pakistan have given us refuge for thirty years. India is a traditional friend and ally, particularly so over the last ten years.”

He added: “As we expand this relationship with India...our relationship with India will not be to the [detriment] of Pakistan or a cause of anxiety for Pakistan.”

Asked if the issue of deploying Indian troops in Afghanistan has been discussed during his two-day visit, he said it had not. But he said he had discussed maintaining India’s training of Afghan security forces and the sales of equipment. He said that once the establishment of a “Sandhurst-style” officers training college in Kabul is completed, Indian officers would be welcome to join US and British troops.

Mr Karzai repeated his claim that the situation in Afghanistan would improve once Western forces left. He said those forces attacking Afghanistan would find it more difficult to do so sand that the Afghan people would unite more effectively against them.


Asked about repeated allegations of corruption within his administration, he said he would take the claims seriously if they were made by Denmark or Norway. “But if it is the US, then I simply laugh about it,” he said, saying contracts involving the Western military were responsible for spreading corruption.

According to reports in the Indian media Mr Karzai held a meeting with Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday evening when he formally outlined his desire to expand defence ties that were initially signed in 2011. He also briefed his counterpart on the ongoing efforts to train Afghan security forces.

Mr Karzai also insisted he will not run for office again, saying he was “really, totally exhausted” and that it be damaging for both him and his country if he were to have another term. He said any attempt to seek a third term would harm his country’s democratic institutions and his legacy.

Under Afghanistan’s constitution the president is limited to two terms but there has been repeated speculation – always denied by him – that he might seek to amend the rules ahead of elections due to be held next year.

“No circumstances should allow me to stay as president,” he said. “And I will not allow it to happen.”

any idea what it might be?

Karzai is an astute politician, he's playing on Pakistan's fear of fighting India on two fronts but at the same time, he refuses to disassociate from Pakistan out rightly. Right now, he's playing to both sides of the house. For greater insight into the nature and depth of the proposed association between India and Afghanistan, it would be insightful to know what the "Wish List" consisted of.......

What kind of loss. Karzai want weapons for ANA since well-equipped ANA is enough to confront you.

1962: ANA at the prime of her military power, attacks Pakistan through Bajaur and is beaten back by local tribes and local paramilitary forces. The military didn't even have to flinch. Your assumption that ANA can take on a seasoned fighting force like the PA seems to imply that Indians have grown increasingly complacent of our capabilities. Complacency never favours the complacent.

89 to 90 % of indians worry about food yet Indian government buying air craft carriers whats your point.(dont take what i said out of context)

Now you are getting desperate again and you need to come up with military spending?

Which countries leaders announced that their people would eat grass to get nukes? Which country spends over 5 % of its GDP on weapons while its economy struggles to stay alive?

Well its not India, since it only spends less than 2 % of its GDP on its military. And dont make up such ridiculous claims.... you are embarrassing yourself poor kid.

 

[Icarus]

Wow you guys are sooo eager for Indian soldiers... I understand,after losing to India so many times....your only hope is the Indian Army,against the talibs or terrorists....whom your creative army is now against and unable to fight in that area!

Not a very keen follower of the news are you? Here as some keywords, give google a try and maybe you'll be less ignorant than you are now. Bajaur, Buner, Orakzai, South Waziristan, Malakand, Swat, Bannu................I'm only getting started, all theatres where the TTP has been uprooted by the PA.

This old gem eh?


With similar levels of poverty (proportionally) between India and Paksitan which nation is it that spends more (proportionally) on defence and thus cares less about its poor? I forget- please educate me.

which part of dont take it out of context was a problem understanding.

It was a tribal affair from our end but the invading force was lead by ANA.
