Very interesting discussion between Ray and Dayuhan.

What I gather from the discussion is this. India knows what it doesn't want, and that can be be a pretty strong basis for action. Rational analysis of costs, benefits and probabilities may not count for much because the emotional outlook of the Indian citizenry, for good or ill, is involved. From what I gather they will not put up with another Mumbai so India will do what it must to lessen the probability of that happening.

If those suppositions are true, India will get heavily involved in Afghanistan if we abandon the place.
