Come on ?! Are we this delusional ?This is like universal truth and cannot be doubted at all. Afghanis are like our brother from another mother.
I am talking about cultural level interaction with Afghanistan. India has great deal of cultural interaction with Afghanistan from ages and soft power of India is not questionable in case of Afghanistan.Come on ?! Are we this delusional ?
most afghans fear and resent pakistan for arming and sending the taliban to destroy their lives . liking india is all about the old dictum--' enemy's enemy is my friend 'Does this mean Afghans like to kill Indians the most and the Pakistanis the least!
That is not entirely true, although i agree some Afghans may blame Pakistan government the truth is they share a deep relationship and family ties with each other. Cross border marriage and travel is very common and i dont think the vast majority of people on the street in Afghanistan consider Pakistan an enemy.most afghans fear and resent pakistan for arming and sending the taliban to destroy their lives . liking india is all about the old dictum--' enemy's enemy is my friend '

Thats a senseless statement. Do you know anything about Indo-Afghan trade relation which is present from ancient times. India always supported the GOOD TALIBAN in Afghanistan and has always helped them whenever required. We are still working over there for their development and this is the reason why the people of Afghanistan like us or whatever you may say.most afghans fear and resent pakistan for arming and sending the taliban to destroy their lives . liking india is all about the old dictum--' enemy's enemy is my friend '
I heard there was also celebration in Baluchistan for India win but these things dont mean anything as they can switch sides and become good muslims any day. Although the charity work started under NDA regime like donateing buses building hospital etc., has had a positive influence along with the cultural exchange like they watching our Swasbahu(pardon the spelling) TV serials, Hindhi movies and songs are quite the riot in Afghanistan. All these things help build ties but i would take that with a pinch of salt because they are known to change sides at the drop of the hat!here--most afghan refugees in pakistan were celebrating the indian victory over pak--

What is this 'relation from ancient times' that we keep hearing about? All I see is Ghorids and Ghaznids (no point taking it all the way back to Gandhara times)Thats a senseless statement. Do you know anything about Indo-Afghan trade relation which is present from ancient times. India always supported the GOOD TALIBAN in Afghanistan and has always helped them whenever required.
and i thought the credit should go to me.....Nice find SHASH2K2, the BBC poll attached to the blog shows some interesting views of the average Afghan.
Do you mean good muslims are the ones that take Pakistan's side or vice versa. What are the Indian muslims then?I heard there was also celebration in Baluchistan for India win but these things dont mean anything as they can switch sides and become good muslims any day.
look at this map of the ethnic composition of afghanistan--I heard there was also celebration in Baluchistan for India win but these things dont mean anything as they can switch sides and become good muslims any day.

Very interesting find, yes the Taliban is a Pashto force and the Norther Alliance Tribes is mostly an Indian ally since we had backed them for Soviet times and still have helicopter bases helping them in remote areas.look at this map of the ethnic composition of afghanistan--

the taliban are backed by pashtuns , but pashtuns are only 38 percent of afghanistan's population .
the tajiks , hazaras , uzbeks , turkmens and baluchis are sick of taliban , and certainly dont like pakistan which sends them . they prefer india .
No i did not mean it that way, i meant good muslim in the sense muslims should not fight each other and be as one.Do you mean good muslims are the ones that take Pakistan's side or vice versa. What are the Indian muslims then?
Your view towards muslims in general seems very narrow. Help me if if I've misunderstood you.
