Af-Pak - A Strategic Opportunity for South Asia?
The paper first takes a look at the dangers of a military pursuit of the Pakistani Taliban, leadership of the Afghan Taliban and the al Qaeda, to the stability of Pakistan. Thereafter, it surveys American options and recommends a political approach which goes beyond merely opening up to the ‘moderate’ Taliban. It then dwells on India’s options and concludes in favour of a proactive Indian involvement.
