JKN, You are right.India's previous experiences of helping its neighbours are really bad.but in my opinion if the problem in Afghanistan is solve in some way or the other if Taliban is crushed than india can feel not complete but somewhat secure. If India wants to be a super power of the 21st Century.It should also have good relationship with its neighbouring countires this is a imposible at present moment but we should be still hopeful for it and try to achieve it without risking our security. I think we can do that.
