INDIA'S STAND

"India's Afghanistan policy has remained reactive and defensive."

The indian prime minister Modi called on the international community " to forge a unified international response without which it would be difficult to bring about the desired changes in Afghanistan"

Modi demanded that " Afghanistan should be prevented from becoming a source of radicalisation and terror"

Modi recalled " the close connections of the Afghanistan and Indian people, and India's contributions towards Afghanistan development during the past two decades. 

India's commitment towards the welfare of the people of Afghanistan.

Would it not be appropriate to announce humanitarian assistance through Tha international aid agency by India?

 It can be  possible to repeat, as one potent form of assistance was given to Afghanistan in 2002 in which India provided one million tonnes of wheat.  This can be given to the World food Programme to be transported via the land route through Pakistan, and distributed directly to the Afghanistan people. In 2002 Pakistan didn't allow the wheat to go through its territory.

India took the correct decision in withdrawing the embassy in August but it is now time to send back a small team.to Kabul. 

What needs to be done in Afghanistan?
  • Respect of women 
  • Minority rights 
  • Humanitarian aids 
  • To form inclusive government
