At the recent IISS briefing on Afghanistan it was pointed out that India had made no actual investments in Afghanistan for two years, nor were there any Indians training the ANSF in country and there were signs that the ISI -v- RAW competition had eased.
Then I found a link by Australia's Lowy Institute, starting with:Link:http://www.lowyinterpreter.org/post/...for-India.aspxIndia Today recently reported that a high-level Indian delegation quietly signed a series of new infrastructure deals in Tehran in late November 2011. The big ticket item was a new railway from Iran's Chah Bahar port, which India also promised to help upgrade, to the Hajigak region of eastern Afghanistan, where Indian firms have interests in iron ore.
Note the Lowy comment extends to India's position on Iran, which to this faraway observer is well, different.
