Response to Dr. Vishal Chandra's Article 'India in the Afghan Maze'

摘要

Responding to Dr. Vishal Chandra's article 'India in the Afghan Maze: Search for Options' allows me the opportunity to update and improve upon the suggestions I had made in my commentary 'Af-Pak and India's Options in Afghanistan' {Strategic Analysis, 34(5), 2010, pp. 683-689). It is difficult to disagree with the broad points made by Vishal Chandra. Close to 10 years after 9/11 and their intervention in Afghanistan, the Americans appear to be as bad and as unsuccessful as the erstwhile Soviets.
