Professor Raja Mohan’s attempts to place the Holbrooke visit to India today in perspective is an apt view point possibly from the desirable US position on the Afghanistan Pakistan “cauldron”. (The Af-Pak Mandate IE 16 February 2009). However given the complexity of the situation what is desirable may not be doable, particularly so as the conditions are not just hyphenated between two states, but have been traditionally a part of the Great Game between the Russian and British Empires with other players as Iran, China and Turkey waiting in the wings. Add to this today’s energy and resource intricacies and the complexity increases. Do we want to go, “far and far ____ into the North, playing the Great Game”, as Rudyard Kipling wrote in 1901 is something which needs deliberate appraisal from the international, regional and internal points of view.
