India Mulls Stationing of Ground Forces in Afghanistan

[Spring Onion]

Definitely not going to get involved in the Afghan Govt vs Taliban war. Troops if we send will probably be with UN umbrella, mostly with the intent of defending Indian asssets and infrastructure built for Afghans.

If India unilaterally sends troops to fight the Taliban, then some Afghans might view it as a foreign power occupying their land and killing their people, so that option should be a big No-No, unless of course the Afghan people want it.

Oops m bad. Post must have cut-off. I meant to say under 1) UN umbrella, or 2)send Indian troops unilaterally just to protect Indian assets and infrastructures and not get involved in Afghan Govt vs Taliban war.

2) Is something that has not been said by GoI, but something I am suggesting. But so far Afghans and their Govt have been able to protect all Indian assets very well, so I dont even see the need to get involved at all. Only if things get worse I suppose. Roads in Afghanistan are nto owned by us, but there might be other things like Consulates, people, schools etc.

Are you listening comerade,time to faqback is arriving. Are your guys ready for 1982 all over again?...because me and my man @Hyperion are making arrangements to 'welcome' our new guests..

I don't think India is willing to commit suicide at all

We do have strategic interests in there ,so India better backs off or else.

What are your strategic interests in Afghanistan..?

 

[Pandora]

I would love some indian troops in afghanistan after withdrawal .

What are your strategic interests in Afghanistan..?

India has nothing to do with what we want Afghanistan to be! But No thanks, no Indian troops ,period.
In one phrase
Saudi's strategic interests equals Pakistan's.

 

[AADHAAR]

Yes, I have doubts. But since you brought that up, please elaborate!

Nothing can penetrate thick skulls, till a hammer falls on them.

China still has some more time to dirty itself up, before the cleaning ... wait awhile and you'll see the hammer falling on your head.

All doubts will go.

India can only bark while the Americans are in Afghanistan as it,s not their forces that are fighting the taliban. Once uncle SAM goes it,s game over.This fantasy of india being the new big boy once the americans leave is probably good as a bollywood script or a feel good factor for media outlets like the Hindu newspaper.
Truth of the reality. America walks or finds an exit strategy. Within 2 years taliban have 90% of the country again.
Regarding the indians, well the indians will leave so fast that the lungi will still be in kabul and the boots in delhi. Good luck on your wet dream.

 

[Götterdämmerung]

Let's not kid ourselves, both you and I as well as the rest of the crowd at pdf know very well what I meant by that.

Please elaborate. I though we were discussing about India mulling to station ground forces in Afghanistan.

I've been to China and to India. China is much cleaner than India. The only thing where both of you are similarly dirty is the air. From that perspective China indeed still has a bit to dirty itself, although I doubt that since it spends billions to clean up the mess while India is not far from the hammer falling on its head although India has not even seriously started with industrialisation.

We are living in interesting time.

And as usual pakistanis are masturbating over the return of taliban...Dude,don't you know what happened after NATO/ANA pulled out of their posts in just kunar and nuristan in 2010?Afghan Taliban took over and those places gradually became safe havens for TTP,while AT just turned their eyes the other way..And the attack on pak troops doubled-with effective hit and tun tactics where TTP could carry out attack in pakistan and retreat to safety in kunar..Was there a singe action from afghan taliban against TTP using the areas under Afghan taliban/AL quida control to launch attack on pakistan..?NO...So in case of afghan taliban taking back power,Pakistan will have much much more to lose than any other nations..

As far as India is concerned,we will never put our soldiers in Afghanistan..And take it from someone who have visited Afghanistan atleast a dozen times,we know how to protect our investments in Afghanistan,all of which are more than equally beneficial to people of afghanistan..

So in your openion Saudi should support Taliban/Al quida in post 2014 conflict between taliban/AQ and karzai govt..
So I take you think the support Saudi arabia presently giving to karzai govt is due to american influence..?
