Afghanistan
=====
                                                 Afghanistan has historical ties with India since thousands of years.  The Afghan territory  is spreaded to 250000 square miles in the  mountainous Region.  The Afghanistan was also known as 'Gandhar' in the the  Ancient time. It  is also mentioned in the Indian epic 'Mahabharata '. Shakuni and Gandhari were crown prince and princess of Gandhar recepectivly . Afghanistan has been always silky road of human migration. The Alaxzender the great, Changiskhan invaded through the same way.  It is land of  Gazanvi, Gori , Khilji Mogul who invaded India. Chandragupta Mauriya defeated Greece General Saluclus and spreaded his influence up to Afghanistan. Thereafter budhist influence also reached  there.
                                               Besides that Afghanistan is also rich of natural resources like petroleum  natural gas, lithium, gold copper,coal and iron ore. It has 34 provinces which has strong influence of Local lords.The Taliban were the political tools of western powers to remove Russian from Afghanistan. However western powers  left Afghanistan in the hands of Taliban.  Taliban flourished thereafter.  Taliban are the master mind behind terrorism which has created problems for the whole world.
                                                However USA  has to intervene in order to free Afghanistan from the Taliban thereafter. The Afghanistan is not having  proper infrastructures. Hence it is very difficult to sustain there for any power from out side. It is literally impossible to win the war in Afghanistan in context of its geographical conditions and very aggressive war minded  people.
                                                USA  has already lost its 2000 young soldiers in the  war of Afghanistan.  America has been fighting this war along with NATO allies since 11 years and that too without much success.  'USA' has now decided to withdraw its troop by 2014.  However meanwhile they are training the local Afghan army of about 380000 soldiers  It is observed that  Taliban has infiltrated in the Afghan army and already killed 42 american and allied soldiers from within.
                                                It is very dangerous and complicated situation. Some of the political Analysts are predicting that there may civil war situation in Afghanistan after American troops leaves' The present authority may be also over run by Taliban.
                                                It is also not certain that USA will go on funding Afghanistan after its exit from it.  In context of  above  situation the  Nato Commander General  \John Allen has come out with a statement that ' We are willing to sacrifice a lot for this campaign but we are not willing to be murdered for it' It clearly means we can fight war but we can not tolerate murder of our soldiers from the enemy within. It appears that they want to get out of such situation which cannot be resolved militarily.
                                               It is very unfortunate that  Afghan people who consist of 42% Pashtun and 27% Tasik are suffering terribly after the removal of Monarchy Headed by King Jahirshah. The Pashtun people in India also suffered during the partition of India as they were for 'Pashtunistan' covering Pashtun from Frontier province of india and from Afghanistan which was ignored then. Abdul Gaffer Khan i.e. Sarhad  Gandhi was the saddest person then. He never wanted to join Pakistan instead of that he desired 'Pashtunistan' then. He spent most his life in Jail for such desire.
                                               We hope Afghanistan comes out of all this problems and wish them all the best.'
