Whichever Indian suggests sending Indian soldiers into Afghanistan, should be the first to be sent there.
Why is this even being discussed? India has no interest whatsoever in fighting somebody else's war. If they come to India to for military training (which they do), we will impart world class training to them to fight insurgents and terrorists. After all very few forces on earth have as much experience and success in that field as India does. But to go fight their war in their country? Sorry, India is not the USA. It has neither the will, nor the inclination to do so.
Except for some geo-strategic games, Afghanistan is not even that important to Indians, that we should send our troops there. Pakistan spent decades sending its troops and its SSG to fight in Afghanistan, and later patronizing the Taliban while the rest of the world looked on in horror at that regime, and now they are paying the price by having their ideological soulmates doing what they do best inside Pakistan.
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Touching and emotionally rivetting speech!
Curiously the objectives of the war changed; bad guys became good guys, good guys became bad guys.. And amidst all the confusion no solid exit strategy was formulated.
Then again in the afghan context "exit strategy" always meant "leave the mess for others to handle; cut your losses and get out as soon as can be done"
Just ask the (former) soviets
