- W404878470 abstract "AbstractIndia's contemporary Afghan journey is a tale of tailored interest with qualified destiny of Afghanistan. India embarked on afghan journey more aggressively only after the fall of ruling Taliban in 2001 with defined geo-political objectives, firmly placed under the security cover of NATO occupation of the country. The objectives of NATO and New Delhi not only squarely merged in Kabul but also found identical companion - Northern Alliance - to realize stable Afghanistan. The most aggressive presence of New Delhi in was its political, economic and diplomatic investment with choreographed goals, revolving around the critical desire of favored strategic response from government in Kabul and NATO. With planned withdrawal of NATO forces, New Delhi however faces decisive challenge for its ongoing operation in the country. The diminishing security cover of NATO and growing influence of Taliban would eventually paralyze New Delhi's maneuvers. Given these uncomforting realities, where and how New Delhi shall go from here? What is the nature of Indian interest and its significance in that country? More significantly what Islamabad would make of this? This paper explores India's surging challenge in and argues that it would have to be much more attentive to regional callings, chiefly emanating from Pakistan, and China and carefully prefer its pathways ahead. India's prospective preferable pathways notwithstanding, South Asia shall continue to be a problematic region from 'stability' and 'peace' perspectives.Keywords: India's Afghan Journey, geo-politics, NATO, and South Asia.IntroductionAs soon as Taliban were removed from power in Kabul by the US led Western forces for affording shelter and logistics for the perpetrators of 9/11 attacks, India resolved to re-work its engagement in Afghanistan. Its then External Affairs Minister Mr. Jaswant Singh announced appointment of a full-fledged ambassador to and re-opening of consulates in Afghan cities of Jalalabad, Kandahar, Herat and Mazar-e-Sharif - New Delhi did not have any consulates in Mazar-e-Sharif, dominated by Hazara and Uzbek ethnic minorities earlier. It pledged the new government $100 million, one million tons of wheat, and additional $1 million for meeting a part of the requirements of the interim administration (Rediff, 2004). The eventual occupation of by NATO and its penetrating security cover - over and beyond Kabul - came as handy and India increased number of projects, personnel and consulates, concomitantly. Moreover, the US, the prominent contributor to NATO efforts, viewed its presence in as responsible partner and its activities pleasing. The US State Department spokesperson, Victoria Nuland said, We are pleased with the support that India is giving to strengthen security, stability, prosperity in Afghanistan (IBNLive, 2012).India's activities in had a geo-strategic flavor though, which not only confine to but travel deep into Central Asia. It is now widely accepted that India's Afghan policy seeks access to energy resources of the region (Fair, 2010). The competitors for energy resources and political influence in Central Asia include, among others, Pakistan and China, with whom New Delhi has border disputes - still unresolved. Further, geo-political realities are changing rapidly, bringing with it a cluster of challenge for New Delhi (SAM, 2007). The planned withdrawal of NATO forces in 2014 may well be the most critical challenge and perhaps a beginning of an end of India's thick presence there, because it would make more vulnerable its vital interest to attacks from anti-India forces operating in the country. The anti-India essentially comprise - Taliban and the ISI, - well known for their deep dislike of India and have repeatedly attacked Indian interest in the past.NATO's Diminishing Security CoverThe declared purpose of NATO's presence in is to assist the Afghan government in exercising and extending its authority across the country and creating a secure environment which will pave the way for critical reconstruction and effective governance and hence its name - International Security Assistance force (ISAF). …" @default.
