I wish to read books written by him, on geopolitics. If he writes one. Cause he has real ground knowledge. Tries to perceive the ground reality. Unlike other media channels. He is a one man research group cum media channel. He knows the nuanced truth and complexity of the situation. Let's us understand things better.

      @Babylon City - Incorrect. Animal sacrifice is mentioned in Vedas and it can be construed that the Vedic people consumed meat. However, Hinduism has undergone several reforms, post Mahabharata (although Bhagvad Gita does not prohibit meat consumption) and then Vaishav movement which led to vegetarianism. Therefore, you will find several shades of Hindus (those who sacrifice animals, those who eat meat and those who are vegetarian).....However, common to all, slaughter of Cow is prohibited since it is considered as a Mother.

      Did you watch the Episode. Abhijit recommends no boots on ground but Military Hardware and Money ( 90% of which will go into Swiss Bank account)

      Well, till now India had no Weapon Systems to give. OFB stuff was so bad. It would have resulted in killing you own soldiers. Now with Private Sector India has Rocket launchers with guided rockets ( 40 -48 KM plus range) that are decent quality and useful in Afghanistan. Soon we may have artillery gun too for export. There is a quality grande and may be a tank . Some night vision in Handheld Thermal Imagers too. Will be effective in Afghanistan, I presume.
      We may have given money in the past but we can now give working weapon systems and if Abhijit is correct find some good Taliban. Spend some $500M over next 5 years on some Indian weapons systems and see if we get some tangible influence. If nothing else it will supports nascent Indian Defence Private sector. We seem to loosing it in Afghanistan after spending multiple of what I have suggested here. Some more good money ....

    If Taliban is a mentality in Afghanistan not a group of people, who see establishment as crooks or foreign occupation on them. India trains Afghan army which is part of gov. how does it sits with talibanis? (given that they know ind is possibly training their adversary)

    This is a brilliant perspective and a good example of mind fallacy in our perceptions of Afganistan. If they are at large a medieval society believing in the Taliban way of life, so be it. Why impose democracy on them? Democracy is anyways overrated.

    Afghanistan fell to Islam in the 10th century. It was an important stop in the Silk route and hence an important center for trade and knowledge share. You raise a great point on researching the history of “Upganasthan” and then teaching it to the Afghans to remind them of their true identity.

    I would love to read a book by AIM on the Taliban issue in Afghanistan. I am a Gen Z individual. I indeed know very little about geopolitics. If I try to know on these issues, I would have to go through the improvised Western ideas or the typical Indian ideas about the crisis in Afghanistan. I would never get to know the real truth or the complexity of the issue.
    AIM 's book, on the other hand, would let me know the real issues out there. I am really keen to know. So, I would love a book by him, on this, any many other such things.
