Now you are contradicting yourself re: post # 13
READ BETWEEN THE LINES...india supported the intervention so did a faction of the ruling PDPA to ouster HAFIZULLA AMIN..
BABRAK KARMAL was made the president which furiated the islamists who believed soviet union was undermining the sovereignity of afganistan which eventually lead to the fighting between mujahideen and soviet union..
india never got involved in the conflict and remained neutral till the end..
u need to understand the difference between intervention and invasion..
