摘要:The article focuses on the AfPak strategy and implications from an Indian perspective. The strategy that mainly aimed at peace and stability in one of the most trouble-torn regions of the world further got bolstered with the US announcement for a surge in troops in the AfPak region recently. The article argues that however noble the intentions behind the strategy may be, it will be a difficult task to accomplish the desired goals primarily owing to the multilayered complexity of the problem and also due to conflicting interests pursued by the parties involved in the politics of the region. For the success of the strategy, the article argues, it is necessary to widen the collaborative format in the region with the simultaneous move to win the confidence of the people and to establish a stable democratic regime
