Many Afghans See Their Future with India, Not Pakistan

[pakdefender]

You guys treated your Afghan brothers poorly and they resent you for that. That is the only explanation that makes sense to me after all you did to support their refugees. But they squarely blame you guys back for them to become refugees.

stop bulshitting around , afghans hate us because their attacks on us failed and instead the stupid SOBs ended up destroying themselves, you indians resent us for the same reason a) that we were born b) we have slapped you both across the face for making attempts to damage our country

This is the simple reason that indian and afghan want to get into each others bund

india's greatest claim to fame against Pakistan came by way of findinding traitors amongst us in east Pakistan and since then you have been hoping to repeat the same

Afghans have lost all but one teeth in their mouths in their attempt to cause Pakistan's demise via the durand line , now with that one tooth left in their mouths they still want to bite us , they are hoping that india will help and you are hoping against hope that their one-tooth bite will cause us the damage that hasn't happened thus far

3 out of 4 Afghans support Indian hegemony -- I think the Pakistani people should be informed by the Pakistani popular media of this statistic.

That can result in hate crimes against Afghan refugees living in Pakistan. Remember they are very vulnerable and most are genuinely poor, helpless and totally out of options. Some of them do have criminal tendencies though.

So hows your relation with Nepal and Srilanka going on these days ?

We did what we did because because it was the same soviet union who broke Pakistan in to two in 71. Do you expect such a hostile entity comes in to our backyard, start playing the same old games by supporting commie elements in Pashtunistan and balochistan and Pakistan do nothing ? Just watch the house goes on fire ?

But hey, how can likes of you can think such puny things except taking digs at Pakistan.



There is a reason we want strategic depth so that No enemies of our take advantage of Afghani land and foment troubles against us. Point in case, India of 2000's and Soviet Union of 70's and 80's

And now they hates your nation .
So much for depth.

Do you think we are trying to win over Afghan public? Think again.

When you say Afghans attack you, do you mean Taliban or Afghan army?

Afghans are our closest allies in South Asia.

 

[Bagha]

Afghans are our closest allies in South Asia.

Bhutan is our closest ally in South Asia . Why do we always forget Bhutan.

Worry bout Nepal will you. Atleast they share a border with you guys unlike Afghanistan

Nepal has been dealt with , now they are coming back to their senses. They'll soon make the necessary amendments to their constitution and the the things will get back to normal.

There is a difference between allies and brothers.

 

[Super Falcon]

We are not responsible for the Afghan immigrants in Pakistan, you supported mujaheddin and CIA in Afghanistan, now face its fallout.

Strategic depth on your face.

Yes other wise red army was puting guns on their butts at that time india supported soviet dont forget wht u have today if we never helped u u lived like slaves

The Afghan public may hate Pakistan, however our response will be to unleash the Taliban. Already 1200 solders have died in Helmand Province in the last 3 months and now countries such as Russia, Iran and China are interested to negotiate with the Taliban to combat ISIS. The State Department of America has taken the Afghan Taliban off its lists of foreign terrorists organizations. Pakistan is in the driving seat of shaping the future Afghanistan and the opinion of Kabul means diddlysquat

Time for a history lesson for those Afghans who blame Pakistan for everything and the ignorant Indian getting his panties in a twist and joining the bandwagon. Look how great, peaceful and stable Afghanistan was before evil Pakistanis came and ruined this promised paradise on earth.

A chronology of key events:

1838-42 - British forces invade, install King Shah Shujah. He is assassinated in 1842. British and Indian troops are massacred during retreat from Kabul.

1878-80 - Second Anglo-Afghan War. A treaty gives Britain control of Afghan foreign affairs.

1919 - Emir Amanullah Khan declares independence from British influence.

1926-29 - Amanullah tries to introduce social reforms, which however stir civil unrest. He flees.

1933 - Zahir Shah becomes king and Afghanistan remains a monarchy for next four decades.

1953 - General Mohammed Daud becomes prime minister. Turns to Soviet Union for economic and military assistance. Introduces social reforms, such as abolition of purdah (practice of secluding women from public view).

1963 - Mohammed Daud forced to resign as prime minister.

1964 - Constitutional monarchy introduced - but leads to political polarisation and power struggles.

1973 - Mohammed Daud seizes power in a coup and declares a republic. Tries to play off USSR against Western powers.

1978 - General Daud is overthrown and killed in a pro-Soviet coup. The People's Democratic Party comes to power but is paralysed by violent infighting and faces opposition by US-backed mujahideen groups.


Lol history before 1838 is also full of civil wars, assassinations and invasions. I've left that bit out in favour of relevent bits of history till evil Pakistani meddling.

Article here, excerpts below:

...

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in Kabul on December 25 to inaugurate the new Afghan parliament building constructed with funds from New Delhi, after the original building was bombed by the Taliban.

The buzz surrounding Modi's visit epitomised the warm relations between the two countries, while the story of the Afghan parliament symbolises the fragile country's ongoing struggle with an insurgency many Afghans blame on neighbour and Indian rival, Pakistan.The day after Modi visited Kabul he was in Lahore to become the first Indian premier to visit Pakistan in over a decade, fuelling hope of better relations between the two countries.

But for many Afghans that have witnessed their own President Ashraf Ghani's failed attempt at outreach to Pakistan, Modi and India remain the main attraction in terms of the country's strategic orientation. A poll from last year showed three out of four Afghans see India as their preferred leader in Asia.

Relations with India, both in the areas of security and civilian aid have been vital for Afghanistan in the post-Taliban era when Pakistan has proved a less constant source of friendship.

...


As Modi visited, Afghan social media circles poured out their love for India, at the obvious expense of the country's other significant neighbour.

Screenshot of a post from a public Facebook profile of an Afghan social media user. The post ironically compares India's contribution to Afghanistan's development to that of Pakistan, viewed through the prism of the Taliban.

The growth in India-Afghanistan relations in the post-Taliban era was most notable under President Hamid Karzai who famously offered Indian investors “the red carpet while others will get a grey carpet.”

First of all this is not a report from a proper news outlet.
It's a copy paste job from somebody's blog. This is how they are described.

The poll which he quotes is unavailable, so I have my doubts regarding that.
We need to find out what was the question of this poll, where was it conducted, the geographic spread etc. To have any idea what kind of attitudes we are talking about.

All in all a very poor report based on some unavailable polling data. By a student blogger residing in New Delhi.
