| Summary/Abstract |
Afghanistan has turned into one of India's most complex foreign policy challenges -with conflicting regional and extra regional players upping their stakes in the country. With barely a year left for the international community's retreat from Afghanistan, there is serious concern over the shaping up of economic, social, cultural and political trajectories therein. Finding common ground with the Taliban has become increasingly elusive and neither the Afghan army nor the political clan is showing any convincing signs of the capacity to assume responsibility for security and integrity of the country.

| Summary/Abstract |
Although there are positive signs of a big power playing an important and responsible role in a war ravaged country in its aftermath, China's foray in Afghanistan reflects that it is walking a diplomatic tightrope in Afghanistan. It is trying hard to maintain a silent but highly strategic presence in the country while at the same time managing its relations with other actors present in Afghanistan. However, as the date of US-NATO exit plan by the end of 2014 approaches; the politics between various domestic, regional, and international actors get surcharged.

| Summary/Abstract |
India claims longstanding historical, cultural and civilizational links with Afghanistan. In recent times, India has increased its footprint in Afghanistan and has actively pursued reconstruction and development, capacity building, and training of Afghan security forces. Bilateral relations between the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the Republic of India have traditionally been strong and friendly. Whilst the Republic of India was the only South Asian country to recognise the Soviet-backed Democratic Republic of Afghanistan in the 1980s, its relations were diminished during the 1990s Afghan civil war and the Taliban government.

| Summary/Abstract |
India-Afghanistan jointly presents a great potential of trade relationship but seeing the turbulent nature of Afghanistan's political situation, it is extremely difficult to anticipate the future of it. Historically, India's presence in Afghanistan has been extremely strong in many fields such as cultural, economic and political in the past but for last few decades, fluctuations in the relationship of any kind has been hanging in balance and dependent upon the external forces operating there to establish their control for a grip on the eco-political activities.

| Summary/Abstract |
India-Afghanistan cooperation is a subject of exploring new avenues of economic participation and stability on democratic lines. In this study both these countries have quest for exploring relationship for future progress and development. India being the largest democracy having a strong base of technology and education is in a position to accelerate the ideas of cooperation between the two countries as Afghanistan is still a new democracy and needs economic and humanitarian assistance to build the necessary infrastructure for progress and its identity in Asia. India has new option to strengthen its economic base by collaborating with Afghanistan through investment and entry of corporates to increase business and exchange of goods and services.

| Summary/Abstract |
Despite having a bilateral tie of centuries, the relations between India and Afghanistan have undergone many ups and down. As a close neighbour, India recognized the importance of Afghanistan at the initial days of India's independence but did not really pay adequate attention to make a decisive presence in the country. With the invasion of the Soviet Union and the subsequent rise of Taliban, India's role was extremely marginalized in Afghanistan.

| Summary/Abstract |
The recently occurred India-linked ominous incidences like the Indian Consulate attack on 3rd August 2013(third of its kind since 2008) in the eastern city of Jalalabad or the killing of Sushmita Banerjee -the 'Kabuliwalar Bengali Bou' on 4th September 2013 in Sharan city of Afghanistan -despite the denial of its hand by Taliban, have exposed the vulnerability of India's people and interests in Afghanistan. India's growing popularity and trustworthiness among the people of Afghanistan these days has been overshadowed by the militant outfits active in Afghanistan, and the interplay of vested interests operating outside its frontiers; and this has become one of the chief concerns of India's foreign policy in the region in the wake of the withdrawal of the US-NATO forces from Afghanistan in mid-2014.

| Summary/Abstract |
The region of the historical Great Games, the land of Hindu Kush, totters once again, with a grave crises unfolding, portending a bleak future for Afghanistan integrity itself. India has historically enjoyed amicable relations with every government in Kabul with the exception of the Taliban regime. After the ouster of the Taliban regime in 2001, India was one of the first countries to re-open its embassy in Kabul. With its pledge of more than $2 billion since 2002, India is the sixth largest bilateral donor to Afghanistan's reconstruction.

| Summary/Abstract |
India as an emerging regional economic power in Asia is on the brink of assuming political leadership to preserve peace and stability in the region. This aspiration however, has not fructified due to India's complex and frosty relationships with its South Asian neighbours. Geopolitically India is surrounded by weak states that pose grim challenges to its national security as well as to its aspirations to emerge as a regional power and a global player in the international politics. Nevertheless, it is the only country in the region which can bear the liability of steering the area to the path of political stability and socio-economic development.

| Summary/Abstract |

After this attack, the US along with the international security assistance force has taken the charge of establishment of peace and stability in the country. Different countries have been providing their assistance for the reconstruction programme in Afghanistan and establishment of peace, security and stability and are cooperating for eradication of terrorism and Islamic extremism. But the international security assistance force will leave Afghanistan in 2014 and Afghan's National Army will take the responsibility of establishment of peace in the country. In this circumstance, this topic provides an elaborate picture of Indian engagement in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of international forces in 2014.

| Summary/Abstract |
Afghanistan has always played a very crucial role in the Asian and world politics and acted as playground for the 'Great Game'. Due to its unique geographical location and presence of abundant natural resources, controlling of Afghanistan has been a long cherished dream for the colonial powers in the past. In the nineteenth century, Afghanistan served as a 'strategic buffer' state between Czarist Russian and the British Empire in the subcontinent. Afghanistan's relations with Moscow became more cordial after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917.

| Summary/Abstract |
India, today is acclaimed as one of the largest democracies in the world and for any democracy the two watchwords are the concepts of liberty and equality , the ideals learnt from the French Revolution. These two ideals are also considered as yardsticks for determining the successful functioning of any democracy. In our country we find a strange existence of so called constitutional guarantee of these lofty ideals as also the marginalization of communities and groups. The concept of marginalization refers to a policy of social exclusion.
