Why India Uses Afghanistan as Pawn?

The government of India has sent 40 additional Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) commandos to guard its people, vital installations and ongoing development projects in Afghanistan. The team of Indian central security agencies will also join this armed contingent in Kabul soon. The decision came following the audacious attack on 26 February 2010 that killed 17 people including 9 Indians as suicide bombers carried out a string of attacks on guesthouses in Kabul. According to the Indian sources, the 40 ITBP commandos will be stationed in the Indian missions and guesthouses frequently used by Indians involved in development work. Interestingly, the Indian government has resolved to increase its security and armed contingent in the wake of so-called perceived threat from Pakistan to Indian missions based in Afghanistan. As a matter of fact it is not new on part of Indian authorities and media to link everything with Pakistan that goes wrong within and outside India. .............................Pakobserver
