Dear friends,
These days, there is utter chaos and mayhem in Afghanistan. After the withdrawal of American troops, the Islamic terrorist organization Taliban has once again captured Afghanistan after twenty years. Several countries have started initiatives to withdraw their diplomats and citizens from Afghanistan. A large number of Afghani citizens are desperate to leave Afghanistan as soon as possible. There is a disturbance at Kabul International Airport as many citizens are desperate to move elsewhere in the world anyhow. American troops stationed at the airport are finding it challenging to manage the massive crowd of people.
Ordinary Afghan citizens are fearful of the Taliban's intentions, which aim to impose strict sharia laws in Afghanistan, restrict women's freedom and movement. The entire world is shocked at the Taliban’s return to Kabul. However, countries like Pakistan, China, and Russia are happy with what's happening in Afghanistan. Pakistan's incompetent prime minister Imran Khan has expressed pleasure at the Taliban's return to Kabul.
Ordinary Pakistani citizens are celebrating the disastrous situation unfolding in Afghanistan. Russia said it would not withdraw its ambassador from Kabul. China wants to recognize the Taliban as a legitimate ruler of Afghanistan. The world's only superpower, America, is being mocked for its embarrassing exit from Afghanistan. Many experts compare this incident with America's shameful withdrawal from Vietnam, where it suffered humiliation, defeat, and tremendous casualties at the hands of brave Vietnamese soldiers and civilians.
I am not surprised at what is happening in Afghanistan. The entire scene seems like a film script where in America is the main villain. Other countries like China, Russia, and Pakistan will benefit from America's exit from Afghanistan. My country India seems to be the biggest loser throughout this incident. We invested 3 billion dollars in Afghanistan’s reconstruction and development. Now, it appears that those investments have gone in vain. Taliban has cancelled bilateral trade between India and Afghanistan. The worst is yet to come.
I think Afghanistan is an unfortunate country that has become a victim of the world's superpower dirty game and politics. Mighty nations have been using Afghanistan as a battleground to exercise their military power and unleash endless wars that benefit major arms producers of different countries. America is the biggest beneficiary of conflicts and disputes worldwide. It sells enormous numbers of deadly weapons to countries in conflict zones and earns massive money.
Any well-educated and knowledgeable person knows that America created the Taliban to defeat Soviet Russia in Afghanistan. Moreover, supplied arms & money to Pakistan to wage a proxy war against the Soviet army, give it a fight and kill more & more Russian troops. Because of the financial burden of the Afghanistan war, the USSR collapsed in 1991. At that time, many small countries broke away from united Russia and became independent. America mocked Russia at that time. The same Taliban was involved in the 9/11 attacks on America, which killed 3000 Americans in a single day.
After the 9/11 attacks, there was substantial public pressure on the American government to take revenge on terrorists and wipe them out. So, America attacked Afghanistan and eliminated the Taliban. A large number of Islamic terrorists were killed in the American attack. The American administration called the military offensive in the Afghanistan war against terror. NATO countries also help America in its effort to eradicate terrorism. Because of a continuous search and kill operation, American troops killed the world's most infamous Islamic terrorist Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan.
One of the main reasons why America failed in Afghanistan is its faulty war on terror. Surprisingly, the American government, CIA, FBI, NATO took Pakistan's help to wipe out terrorists from Afghanistan. American leaders and policymakers perhaps don't know that Pakistan is the biggest exporter of terrorism globally. In the name of the war against terror, Pakistan deceived America several times and is directly responsible for killing NATO troops in Afghanistan. You would be surprised to know that the Pakistani government, army, and intelligence agency took money and arms from the American government to crush terrorism. Still, they cleverly used the acquired resources to promote terrorism in Afghanistan and elsewhere in the world.
The Pakistani intelligence agency and army trained Taliban terrorists and created chaos in Afghanistan. America's 20-year stay in Afghanistan was possible only due to the double game of the Pakistan army and intelligence agency. That is why America and NATO countries failed in Afghanistan, and they are responsible for this shameful embarrassment. America wasted 2 trillion dollars on the Afghanistan war and achieved almost nothing. It is often said that America is the most selfish country in the world. It has nothing to do with the welfare of other countries and their people. America always cares about its interests first and makes policies accordingly. The more wars and conflicts across the world, the more American companies will be able to sell their arms at higher prices.
The rapidly changing situation in Afghanistan has created a complicated condition for the Indian government. The government of India has ordered the immediate evacuation of all Indians from Afghanistan. Prime Minister Narendra Modi participated in several meetings with security officials and got the latest updates about what's happening in Afghanistan and what needs to be done to protect India's interest in that country. Currently, it seems that India has adopted a wait and watch policy. America has said that if the Taliban respects human rights and behaves appropriately, it will consider recognizing it.
Secular Indians who had problems living in India under Modi's rule because of the so-called growing intolerance and hyper-nationalism have now maintained a pin drop silence on the Afghanistan incident. Controversial poet Munawwar Rana compared the Taliban with Maharishi Valmiki. All India Muslim personal law board appreciated the Taliban's action. A Muslim parliamentarian in Uttar Pradesh showered praise on the Taliban and compared it with India's freedom movement. Controversial film actress Swara Bhaskar compared the Taliban with the so-called Hindu fascist. The Muslim community living in India did not condemn the Taliban's action in Afghanistan, and it seems that they are happy with it.
The Afghanistan incident shows us the selfish nature of leading countries of the world. Taliban is a terrorist organization. Any country that recognizes the Taliban should be treated as a terrorist supporter. Surprisingly, Taliban fighters are limited. They don't have any proper training and arms to fight a full-scale conventional war. It is surprising that 3 lakh Afghan army soldiers surrendered before the Taliban without fighting.
What any other country can do if Afghans are not ready to fight for their country themselves. If all leading superpowers join hands, then eliminating the Taliban is not a tough job. I am expecting more bad news from Afghanistan in the coming days. If the Taliban is allowed to rule Afghanistan, get ready to witness more attacks in different parts of the world. One of the main reasons the Taliban was able to capture Afghanistan after 20 years is that it receives funding from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, China, and other countries. The world's only superpower, America, is not interested in eliminating terrorism from different parts. Only God knows the true fate of Afghanistan. Jai Hind.
