#2 Diplomacy to win us an observer status at the OIC. A step toward putting Pakistan in its place. All long-term strategy toward a 'Stain free Asia.

India has had 700 years of muslim history too, and a sizeable population of progressive, rich muslims. From film industry studios to manufacturing and export and several international companies are owned by Indian muslims who favor a right-wing hindu govt. If someone wants to see a truly 'domesticated' muslim population cooperative with the law and politically active within the limits of reason, they come to India. This brings the country immense respect and dignity at any table of islamic nations. Giving India the image of a nuclear capable state that islamic nations (except pak) can see as friend, alienating Pak - truly the world's no.1 exporter of terrorists and criminals.

We also supported the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan, and have been building a rapport with their moderate leaning pro-democracy groups. Indian clandestine services are fighting a stealth war against the Pak ISI which aids the taliban in destablizing Af.

Education and infrastructure is one thing that aids the civilizing influence of democracy, and to ensure that the rag-head Mad Max existence doesn't become the norm for Afghan youth, it was necessary to set up libraries, universities, film and broadcasting capabilities, introduce some culture destroyed by war and regressive islamist idiots. Curriculum designed in New Delhi teaching sub-continental history and sciences, weaning them away from desert idiocy. A pull-out by the US puts everything in danger here of slipping back into camel dung. But we must keep up the diplomatic influence we gained at least.

Bless them for that. Thank you for letting us know, Dron66046. One does worry that Pakistan is having things entirely too much their own way.
