2015 – Alternative Outcomes and India’s Military Options

With Presidential Elections on 20 August, Afghanistan is at another cusp of the stability-instability dyad in its long and turbulent history. The very fact that the elections had to be postponed from 20 May is indicative of continuing instability in the country mainly affecting the South and the East. Linkages of Afghanistan with Pakistan with a mislaid Durand Line, Talibanisation of the vast Pashtun tribal lands and duplicity of Islamabad have led to growing concerns of stability in the country. On the other hand there are some positive outcomes with international commitment, resolve of leaders as Karzai, aid and assistance bringing about a slow but perceptible change. India is a major stake holder in Afghanistan. Envisaging the future outcomes in the country would therefore be of immense interest to Indian security.
