The Revenge of Geography

[Flint]

You think Taliban can fight in the plains with the same effectiveness as in their own mountains?

If Pakistan falls to the Taliban, we are no longer looking at a ragtag bunch of guerillas.
We're looking at a country ruled by religious fanatics, at their disposal an army of considerable size and strength.

I think breaking away of the Western provinces with the Taliban ruling them is a far more likely scenario.

But yes, India should be ready for the scenario you mention here, however unlikely that may be.

We are not welcoming the scenario by any means. Its scary but perhaps inevitable and there is little we can or should do to influence except preparing ourselves for the worst.

Both Vinod and Fint has a Point the People and tarrain of the Northwestern Frontiers of the Indian Sub continent have been Un tameable for ages but that very people have not been able to fight on the plains albit all their victory have come due to the lack of unity and slow adoption of advance military tech combine to that the share of fercoity that these People these are the factors that have lead to our down fall but may be not this time the taliban always fights under the cover of natural or a Defensable terrain the place we should take most care of is J&k with its type of terrain it will be good ground for the Talibs
but in this day and age we should also guard our cities and beef up our security and covert action forces

The Taliban is fighting an Attrition War for that they need to recruit more people. This is possibble only through the Madrassas that are operating in Pakistan. Stricter rules and total revamp of the educational system is what is more needed.
