Afghanistan is trapped in a paradox. Its location puts it at the mercy of several foreign powers, all ofwhom would benefit from seeing Afghanistan stabilize but also stand to lose out if another country dominates

COMMENTS
C Raja Mohan -. 
India should continue on its own policy as US cannot remain disengaged from Pak given latter's pivotal position
Views of Vivek Katju -
The new policy is a radical departure in US policy of Af vis-a-vis policies of Bush/Obama. Earlier they were riding on two horses - to go militarily against Taliban and also to seek a pol settlement with Taliban. However, the second horse is gone now. Also, there is change of inner logic. The US has explicitly recognised that the cause of Afghan problem lies on the other side of Durand line.
India should do everything (except military footprint) to strengthen the ANSF so that the return of Taliban could be averted.
India should stop looking at Af through the prism of Pakistan. India should formulate its own Afghan policy without giving consideration to Pakistan’s concern.
However, India should develop its relations with all the power centres and ethnicities in Afghanistan be it Hazaras, Uzbeks, Pashtun, Tajiks and not limit itself with the government.
Harsh V Pant -
India should take this change an an opportunity and go for increased engagement in Af and even if required increase its military assistance in Af.
but not boots on grounds as afganistan still grave yard of empires and there is great game in afganistan
