Manasi Kulkarni (Kakatkar) has a very informative piece on FPA’s India blog about India’s growing role in Afghanistan. Here is a piece:
The meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and President Obama on the sidelines of the Nuclear Security Summit last week, seems to have produced positive results for India. The US ambassador to India, Tim Roemer will be travelling to Afghanistan to view first-hand the “critical” work being done there by India. He told the Times News Network, “India’s role in Afghanistan is very critical. President Barack Obama has personally said this to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and conveyed gratitude for the contribution.” He further said, “India’s role has been a great success. The US is looking for additional role for India in Afghanistan. It may include civil services and anti-corruption projects.”
