Taliban says it can 'reconcile' with India

[afriend]

here is speaks my mind. As i had been asking the same thing from Indian members here that if India was so much concerned for Afghan development then why India did not invest and helped Afghan under Taliban rule.

First of all we never recogonised taliban rule, and we never supported them and it only reinforces our age old principles that we wont talk to terrorists who hold innocent people with guns.

And helping afghanistan means accepting taliban rule and working under them or fighting them. Neither of which was acceptable to us. Now that a demoracy is prevailing in afghan there is no reason why we shouldnt help them, even now we are not there to fight the taliban but to truely help afghanistan.

So your argument of why india didnt help afghan under taliban is as childish as the comments made by that taliban official..!!!

That's because, India did not recognize Taliban Government. Is it clear now?

Helping Civilians does not require recognition of a ruling govt.

You could have helped through non-govt sector or you could have sent the help for Afghan people. And thats what the Taliban spokesman has asked.

On another note i think as it happens in media we make the headline and intro of news story, item or interview according to our needs hence i see the said headline.

Lets wait for Indian official stand.

So now Indians will jump and say Taliban are our love

Did anybody say that? Please do not post nonsense.

India is ideologically against Taliban. However this does not mean there could be no contact with them, just to protect Indian interest. This is true for every nation on earth.

I do not know how much the news is true? However this might be a lesson for fanboys who claimed India would be running away once US led forces move out of Afghanistan.

I am not taking this news as credible yet. But this might leads to a number of thoughts or theories.

Nah! India would never talk with the Taliban. If India had to talk to Taliban, India would have done that before 9/11 and maintained diplomatic ties.

NO India could not have done so because of Pakistan and India was not seeing any chance of getting any infulence over Taliban at that time hence you did not talk to them.

I was asking about Indian views and stand in the wake of this statement.

And as i have your views and stand in your this post which clealry says that no one is terroris when it comes to your interests hence it also negates all the criticism against Pakistan by Indian members here for negotiating with Taliban.


Yes indeed this is going to lead to number of steps for Indian govt as well.

I see it as softening up Indian public opinion for any future Indian contacts with Taliban

Wot is your point? Can you elaborate? Would love to hear on the ways we could have helped them under a terrorist regime..??

I never said they are not terrorist. Please read my post again.
We are so much against them that even the news doesn't seem credible to me as I meantioned earlier.
I was just mentioning about having some contacts which could protect Indian interest. Almost every nations has it or try to have it with rebel groups. We just want them not to involve them in terror activities in India. This might be biggest benefit.

Added: On the contrary, I see a huge backlash if ever India tries to maintain contact with them.

Now this really caught my attention. A terrorist organization ready to reconcile? I need to commend the Indian members on this forum as being the only country to have a terrorist organization ready for a reconcile. LOL

However, if this is true then it is showing the effectiveness of what started off in 2001. Looks like cracks are widening in Taliban mindset with more losses to their manpower. If I were an Indian, I wouldn't buy such deliberate rubbish.

If they couldn't reconcile with the far powerful ISAF, surely this is some sort of trickery. Besides, Taliban's crimes against humanity (as quoted by a respected Pakistani member wisely regarding chopping off a girl's nose and ears as example) cannot be forgiven.

They have to go down and go down hard. I do hope better sense prevails in New Delhi rather than taking these words seriously. Otherwise, all the sacrifices that men made in Afghanistan and Afghan-Pakistan border from more than 12 countries as well as Pakistani Army will go wasted.

Yes, it does. If you still don't believe, open a new thread and discuss that with Think Tanks. I am sure they can help you.

Right. While Pakistan was supporting Taliban, we did not even wanted to be there. Pakistan was helping a lot nah? Why are they killing Pakistanis now? Please try to use logic for once.

bwahahahah and which news magazin he told that ????


So now Indians will jump and say Taliban are our love

bwahahahah?????????

What is this can u plz tell us the meaning of it????

You almost uses this in your all of the post, why is over obsession ??

And, as for the Taliban if they realize the truth good for them.

We don't love them and also don't think there is something called good Taliban or bad Taliban.

As discussed number of times and posted hundred of posts related to it, one shouldn't worry about the Indian stance.

India , even when US was trying to negotiate with Taliban , has repeated that there are no good terrorists or bad terrorists, but only terrorists.

Any person/ group which is against the system and revolt and kill people in the name of a new country etc etc can be termed a terrorist.

Taliban says it can 'reconcile' with India​

No Direct Conflict With India, Can Reconcile: Taliban​

{I am NOT pro-Taliban whether original or self-proclaimed...}

They say that even babies who die in attacks r NOT innocent,,, They say that whoever is NOT in FATA or Afghanistan, fighting,, is a "Kafir" & deserve dying,,, on the other hand they want to be frnds with india...

These r NOT "Taliban" rather "شمالى اتحاد" ppl disguised as taliban... who have always been pro-indians... and/or "بكاؤ لوگ" who r working for agencies...

..And how about the civilan casualties caused by suicide bombing from taliban side. The taliban are killing many many more civilians than the others.

I was told by a man from Peshawer that actual Taliban were just 7 men who responded to a crime with a woman by immediately punishing culprits by shariah rules,,, ppl liked it & started to join them everywhere they went...

But now The word "Taliban" is a catch phrase for any fenatic... Many so-called Taliban groups r "self-proclaimed" & have nothing to do with original Talibans... If I lose my mind today & start calling myself by this name that does NOT mean they r to be blamed for my actions...

& I have posted elsewhere that foreign powers(Link) r responsible for killings,,, NO muslim in right mind will attack innocents,,, & For suicide attacks, they usually hire mentally unstable guys (link) Self-proclaimed talibans r NOT capable of carrying out all this on their own,,,

So don't just conveniently say that taliban r responsible for killing innocent coz these r just "salaried" patsies working for foreign intruders & using the name "Talibaan" or "Al-Quaida" to absolve intruders of their crimes...

Helping Civilians does not require recognition of a ruling govt.

So why isn't the world helping Somalia???

A govt is required for anything. There are legal issues, logistic issues, technical issues, diplomatic issues, cultural issues, financial issues etc etc. They are to be discussed with the govt. I just can't go out and start discussing all these with a random person who doesn't have control over the people of his country.
