| Summary/Abstract |
As the Afghan war is far from over, India must take a long-term view of developments in its turbulent north-western neighbourhood. Based on certain assumptions about the likely course of the Afghan war, it is often argued that India may soon have to revisit its policies and priorities in Afghanistan. However, given the constraints and prevailing uncertainty, India may not be in a position to bring about any radical shift in its Afghan policy, at least not in the short-term. The Afghan situation is extremely fragile at the moment in view of the fragmented nature of its polity, overlapping transitions, and strong external dimensions to the conflict, all of which do have a direct impact on India's security and, at the same time, restrict its options.

| Summary/Abstract |
The paper attempts to examine diverse challenges to the making of the new Afghan National Army (ANA), and its future prospects. The issue assumes significance as the Taliban shift battle lines outside the Pashtun areas and there is growing difference among Western countries regarding the means and approaches to be used to stabilize Afghanistan. The paper is broadly divided into four sections. The first section seeks to identify and critically examine the role played by key institutional structures responsible for the training and mentoring of the new national army. The second section deals with the challenges confronting Afghanistan which have a bearing on the development of the ANA as an effective force. The third section explores the dilemmas confronting the West, and the final section offers key assessments on the ANA's future prospects.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Jabhe-e-Melli or the National Front (NF) is largely considered inconsequential in Afghan politics. It is often dismissed as a loose m lange of elements from the former United Front or the Northern Alliance, some ex-communists, and former royalists, which is bound to wither away sooner than later. The Front is said to represent the interests of a political class which is disgruntled with the politics and the policies of President Hamid Karzai, and which is struggling to preserve its erstwhile status and relevance in the power politics of Afghanistan. The article posits that the NF, with all its diversity and contradictions, has the potential to emerge as an important player both in case of a widened Afghan conflict and in any effort aimed at national reconciliation. As international attention remains glued to the growing tension along and across the Durand Line, it is pertinent to keep track of the politics of the NF. This article attempts to explore the way politics of the marginalized non-Pashtun leadership is shaping up in view of challenges both from Kabul and the Taliban.

| Summary/Abstract |
It may be saind that the Obama administration has articulated what the previous US administration either could not or simply did not want to articulate, for instance, the idea of engaging the so called recocilable Taliban and an exit strategy from Afghanistan.

| Summary/Abstract |
That NATO will not stay in Afghanistan for long and is eager to make a quick exit has been a common refrain since the last few years. With the US President Barack Obama trying to shift the focus from Iraq to Afghanistan and correspondingly deploying thousands of additional US troops in the face of Taliban resurgence on either sides of the Durand Line, the Americanization of the war appears inevitable. However, it may not be possible for NATO - currently the world's largest military alliance - to draw down its forces from the Afghan theatre by 2011, as is often believed. It is thus important to turn the spotlight on NATO's responses, or the lack thereof, and the prospects of its Afghan mission as the politics and war in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region enter a new phase.
