Contrary to the predominant view that India has never meddled in the Afghan conflict and Pakistan is to be blamed for all the chaos, India has been contributing to Afghanistan’s insecurity in a very timely and calculated manner. If there had been any non-interference, it was before the Taliban established their regime; for instance, in the years of infighting in Afghanistan (1988-1994), India kept its distance and didn’t play any part in peace efforts. But then later India backed the Northern Alliance to overthrow the Taliban, and became the largest regional provider of humanitarian and reconstruction funds to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. It shows that India intervenes as per its political and strategic convenience, and not haphazardly.
