There were quite a few celebrations when ISI Chief went to Kabul and had that famous cup of tea with a smirk saying - We have done it. It was declared as an end to all Paksiatn problems. Till then any act of internal violence was blamed on RAW, plotting them out of Afghan soil. That appears true at that time. But not now. The roots as well as the perpetrators appear to be completely different.That is Afghanistan.
There were a minority of posters here, who cautioned against those premature celebrations of US leaving Afghan soil. Talibans with their ideology would pose a formidable challenge to Paksiatn. The porous borders and a population that associates with Taliban ideology would remain a headache that wasn’t considered by quite a few. RAW propagated (if at all) violence should have ended long back.
But here we are. That cuppa of tea has turned quite sour for quite a few.
CPEC is a promising project with immense possibilities. It seems though that the terms of loans etc are quite against Paksiatn. Chinese money hasn’t been easy on anyone. Counting in the debt burden, it doesn’t appear to be as viable as it should have been if the loan terms were easier. India isn’t touching that trouble with even a long long pole. It hasn’t much to gain from it.
The population in the border areas of Afpak has strong links to each other. They associate with each other in many ways that includes culture and language. This influence is likely to prove a trouble for both.Bro what they do in their home is not a problem for us.
