have said on another thread, India went in for massive developmental aid as means to obtain leverage in the country. there was and is a direct threat to lives of men and women working there from Talibs and as such you need to have secure areas and troops to protect them. So what better way than to establish safe havens for same where you can provide maximal protection? We have 5 consulates in US, 4 in russia. So use your imagination to tell what do they do?
Boy, you should be in politics !
