this article is a classic case of a ostrich burying its head in the sand thinking others wont see it. This author is telling us not to play politics in afghan because we will displease pakistan??? He is telling us to make freinds wih pakistan?? These kind of people should be given to pakistan free..they will have ample time to make freinds with pakistan out there.. cowardice is being cloaked as diplomacy here..We dont people like this bhadrakumar...no wonder india is considered spineless.. No country except india lives in this kind of self deceit..in the international stage it is only business nothing else..and to achieve that goal countries are ready to do whatever it takes..kill or be killed..lets decide what we want right now
