It looks as if Pakistan is back in frame as far as Afghanistan is concerned and the Americans now very clearly know and demonstrates that without Pakistan there is no solution to Afghan quagmire. They have relied on India for 8 years but Indian influence went so far and when push came to shove, Indians were told to gradually pull back their operations from Afghanistan and we shall see in near future that as soon as United States leave Afghanistan, India will leave with it.
In recent months all major afghan leaders have seen these winds of change and most of them are now bending over backwards to convince Pakistan of their support. Pakistan for the time being is keeping its cards close to the chest but it has told the world including United Stets that an anti-Pakistan Afghanistan will not be tolerated.
Meeting in Turkey and then in London were used to hammer home this message to India to back off. I don’t know if this has anything to do with India’s new found willingness to talk on Kashmir issue with Pakistan but suspicions are there to that effect.
