India wins the PR war in Afghanistan, guess why?

[pakistani342]

Average Price of Apples $200/ton
747 max payload capacity. 150 ton
200x150= $30,000
Cost to operate 747: $27,000/hr.
4 hour 30 min round trip from Kabul to Delhi = $121,000

Indians are spending $121,000 just for transportation, 4x the cost of Apples themselves. Farm to market/Airport and all other costs are not even included.

#Pak bans export of #Afg fruits to Ind via its land. #Ind agrees to ship the fruits to Delhi taxfree on cargo planes

Export is not banned to the rest of the World .It is just for India via land...

Pakistan and Afghanistan must get its act together..agreed on this part as there is no other way

Dude...Chahbahar isn't a deep enough port for Afghan fruits the way Gwader is.

Sound like a very bad deal economically yet bania is going ahead, shows you motive are completely different. Don't expect favour like this once Afghanistan no longer serve to wage proxy war against Pakistan through terrorists.

India is very smart -- they can afford this given their economic might and honestly anybody would have done the same.

The ones who are losers are the poor Afghan people.

It's not only Pakistan losing the PR war in Afghanistan, but Afghanistan losing the PR war in Pakistan. The era of old ANP babus who believe in Pashtunistan is swiftly coming to an end and when the dust settles, what's left is a youth which has only seen provocations and insults from the Afghan side.

They're losing the real war on the battlefield. Win as much in PR as you want it won't change the grim reality. Taliban in Afghanistan are a reality and will stay that way. You cannot defeat them.

2 trillion economy but still behind in poverty , sanitation , income inequality , median household income , % of middle class and what not .

We have income so we have inequality
You don't have income so no inequality
In simple terms all beggers are equal

Why does Indians and Afghans keep pakistanis telling about chabahar sea port in Iran, so go there and use it. Do as much trade you want, it isnt Pakistan matter.

Any hostile country towards Pakistan cant ask to use pakistani fazilities...

 

[Royal Blue007]

No I just compared India to Pakistan whom you consider shining but they lag behind us in Happiness indexes , poverty , middle class income and what not .

30 sheep

Better than Pakistan in every social pointers u had noted before.

 

[AnnoyingOrange]

They're free to do that; but the fact is - exporting/importing via Chabahar is twice as expensive as exporting/importing via Pakistan.

If the trade off is between.. IMPOSSIBLE and EXPENSIVE... Guess what would you do...

An 18-year-old Indian girl has married a stray dog as part of a tribal ritual designed to ward off an evil spell.

Mangli Munda, from a remote village in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand, wed the canine in a lavish ceremony.

The wedding was hastily organised by village elders after a local guru led Mangli's parents to believe that the teenager possessed ill-luck and that marrying a man would bring destruction to the family and her community.

The baffled dog, Sheru, a stray found by the girl's father, was brought to the wedding in a chauffeur driven car and welcomed by revellers.

Mangli, who has not been to school, said she was not happy to wed a dog, but insisted that it will help change her fortunes


Nowhere in the world such backward stuff happens . s This is only possible in a place like India .

Many thing even does not happen around world...List is countless weird things if i list out what happens in many Muslim nations around the world...But again, i do not want to be racist like fellow people who post such kind of stuff...

Foolishness should not reach to a level where it hurts one's economic interest. India and china are rival but does a great trade.

India-Afghanistan trade doesn't benefit Pakistan at all.

Good news. Airlift tax free Apples to India. Only loser is India in this game. They lose Tax, They lose money on transportation via Air. They lose money on selling it, since by the time apple will land in India, it will cost 50x more.

Pakistani traders already made advance payments to Afghan farmers for produce. They will be losing too, lets see which side has the capacity to absorb loss.

"Pakistani traders provide the investment for growth of fruits and vegetables in Afghanistan which are then imported into Pakistan and sold in the market or exported abroad,"
