In the last few days Afghanistan and India have shared concerns and have pledged to stay as good friends. How long will this be the case depends on the geopolitics of the region.
Interests:
Indians want a moderate and pro India regime in Afghanistan. It wants the people of Afghanistan to have access to a better life. This will result in better support to the ruling Government. The Indian markets would welcome imports from Afghanistan and would like the export if transit from India to Afghanistan is viable.
Afghanistan would like to move away from fundamental forces and embrace moderate outlook. Building a country is of top priority and India is best placed to execute large projects after China. India has committed an additional $ 500 million dollars to Afghanistan for various developmental works, taking the total Indian assistance to $2 billion. India is the sixth largest donor to Afghanistan.
Checkmate :
Will US decide to leave Afghanistan or is this just a dream of Pakistan! If US leaves.. will it be end game for India.
Game on :
If US stays and is Pro India, will it be advantage India. If US leaves but India ensures plurality and keeps Taliban at bay, that is a big IF.
Are Indian options diminishing with Obama making a run for the next elections by bringing back US forces. Will US leave this early when its job is unfinished? Is India throwing billions down the drain in Afghanistan given change is inevitable after US exit.
Your thoughts ....

......and even if it eventually does which is bound to happen India knows nothing of Afghanistan and only seeks to isolate Pakistan from the Afghans cuz if India eventually forsees the collapse of Pakistan (which is another Indian fantasy) and thinks it will take over major portions of it, it knows that Afghanistan will serve as a seemingly unlimited supply of war hardened men who are going to pay back the favour for how we helped them against the soviets and I am sure they will help because the are Pathans who never forgive and never forget
and plus the military can strategically retreat and launch a counter attack across the Western mountains which would spell disaster for the Indian public, Indian economy and Indian military and it too will have to give in eventually and if it doesn't it will have to face dis-integration in the long run.
