What Indians do of their own accord is of no concern of mine.
What a US desperate for allies to support us in a misconceived mission does to overcome past obstacles to a major Indian presence in Afghanistan, creating long term major problems in an effort to help cure our short-term minor problems is.
We have already disrupted the natural balance in the region in ways we will not fully appreciate for generations, if ever. To add sins to address sins is no solution.

"The modern COIN mindset is when one arrogantly goes to some foreign land and attempts to make those who live there a lesser version of one's self. The FID mindset is when one humbly goes to some foreign land and seeks first to understand, and then to help in some small way for those who live there to be the best version of their own self." Colonel Robert C. Jones, US Army Special Forces (Retired)
