India’s Afghanistan Policy

Time is changing fast and so is everything. Storages capacity has increased from megabyte to terabyte. Generation of electricity is increased from kWh to GWh. But India’s policy towards geopolitical issues remains very laggard. Every now and then Indian polity is treated as if it is an out caste amongst the comity of nations.

The recent meeting on Af-Pak issues was attended by countries from all walks of life from European Union to America. But India was deliberately left in the deliberation so that Pakistan can be satiated to a level. It is high time, Government of United States, European Union and Afghanistan should understand that India is one country who is providing what Afghanistan requires most and that is education, infrastructure development and medical care to the affected people of war torn nation.

If India has to strengthen its position in geopolitical issues it has to come out strong and clear on such issues. India is such a great nation, whose record on human rights, regional peace and economic growth is unparallel and on issues of global importance India’s stand always remain non-partisan.

The main reason why India is avoided from issues of geopolitical matters because Indian polity shy away from taking strong stand on such issues. Also India does not register strong diplomatic maneuvers which are often required time and again.

Af-Pak issue is very small yet important for Indian government to stand firm on ground and realize the world that India can’t be taken for granted. Otherwise, its repercussion would be very dangerous for India, who is aspiring to become the regional and then a global power in multi-polar world.
