Taliban threat to Kabul, Delhi

Taliban threat to Kabul, Delhi - The New Indian Express: 
"US secretary of state John Kerry during his visit was proposing that India sign on his dotted line. His Indian counterpart, Salman Khurshid, true to the type of a boneless government to which he belongs, did not seem to have an alternative plan to confront the US betrayal in Afghanistan.
In forcing out the extremist Taliban regime in Kabul in 2001, the original goal of America was to transform Afghanistan into a democracy on a more enduring basis. That enduring basis could at least for the present be only through president Karzai and his constitutional democracy being sustained for long with international support.
It would be idle to ignore the fact that for India, Kabul is a strategic and nearby destination for saving its own democracy from growing Islamic fundamentalism that has spawned the multiple terror groups that operate from both Afghanistan and Pakistan deep into India and globally. Kerry might have sung praises of the UPA government and extended invitation to prime minister Manmohan Singh to visit Washington coming September. However, the absence of specific geography or politics in Kerry’s post-visit statements should be noted."
