What should India do now....

India doesn't have any influence over US or Afghanistan ;)

But Pakistan is the "ally" in war on terror and they have been screaming about the 100 consulates India has in Afghnaistan .... what has US or Afghanistan done about it ... has US or Afghanistan asked India to reduce the 100 consulates. Time to ponder on this one !!!

Re: What should India do now…

What it has done is take Pakistan’s position on the Taliban snubbing Indias. If or when the Taliban become partners to the government, bye bye Indian consulates :hehe:

Yaar Rajey,

Gul sun Tusaan,

Why do you get so worked up about India. Like any other country, they have interest, and Afghanistan is a near neighbour for them. They tried a policy, which seems to have failed. It doesn't mean Pakistan is succesful.

I know for a fact that there influence is exagerated. In Eastern Afghanistan, where all these counsalates are situated , is a Pashtun region. Can't see the Indians making headway with these people.

I agree with khan saab, why does pakistan have to get agitated with Indian so called influence in Afghanistan. If fact, after collapse of the Soviets, India has little or no influence in Afghanistan. Pakistanis are getting paranoid about the Indian influence, because Pak has always treated Afghanistan as their back yard rather than a country. But, Pakhtoons and Talibans are Deobandis and Deobandi sects headquater is in India. May be Indians can do Deobandi Ungli to talibans.

Ifs and butts aside … we are talking about the situation right now … if they were influenced by Pakistan … they would have asked India to close the consulates …

As for taking position on Taliban … we all can see what is happening on that position … Mullah Baradar is “in the house” and Haqqani missed the boat … guess Pakistan is being heard and is being “saved” from the Talibans :smiley:

Hm, you ask others to reply? when you get a reply do you have the courtesy to acknowledge and admit you were totally wrong? See below;
Admit your mistake. That would be the honorable thing to do.

India is still very much in Afghanistan helping them put in developmental infrastructure.

Pakistan’s price for doing their job was to seek a face saving gesture from the London club. Aren’t you the least bit embarrassed that such a negotiation is even necessary?

Look at your own position - If and When…

Talk about grasping at straws.
