#India #AfghanistanPeaceDeal 1/5 The agreement between the Taliban and the United States is a serious setback to India, and unlikely to lead to sustainable peace in the country. India’s policy towards Afghanistan has had a 3 pronged approach, since the last defeat of d Taliban
#India #AfghanistanPeaceDeal 2/5 First, support and gain from the US security presence, which would marginalise the extremist Taliban, the Haqanni network and other Pakistani strategic assets. Second, adopt a policy of non partisanship and non interference in domestic politics
#India #AfghanPeaceDeal 3/5 Work with the spectrum of mainstream political opinion be it Hamid Karzai, Ashraf Ghani or Abdullah Abdullah to win the goodwill of Afghan people through developmental projects, and especially gain influence the Pashtun- who form the bulk of d Taliban
I'm usually as hawkish as @AmbJohnBolton on foreign affairs, but on US signing a deal with Taliban in Afghanistan, I disagree with him, and completely agree with Prez Trump and US Rep Zal Khalilzad @US4AfghanPeace. Below I explain why: 
America went to war in Afghanistan when Taliban was hosting Al-Qaeda and Al-Qaeda launched 9/11 terror attacks against the US. US mission in Afghanistan should have been completed after Al-Qaeda was decimated, at most after the killing of its leader Bin Laden in 2011.
But after US initial success, Bush administration decided to fix Afghanistan comprehensively through nation-building and spreading democracy. This was proven impossible in absence of reliable local Afghani partners (most partners proved to be corrupt and manipulative)
