@F.O.X
and as always india bet on the wrong horse.
Brother Fox, may I share a somewhat more nuanced analysis. During Cold War, IND bet on the wrong horse (USSR) while PAK backed the winning horse (West). However, after Cold War IND ingratiated itself to the West while PAK fell out of favour. Now, IND has again chosen the wrong horse (USA) vs PRC while you have chosen the winning side. I won't be surprised if somehow again after stumps, IND gets on the right side of the winner (PRC).
Coming to AFG itself, IND first backed the Soviet backed regime in AFG but after the Muj came to power, IND again got into the good books of Muj. In the post 2001 chaos, IND backed another wrong horse (NA) while you guys backed the Talibs. Now see where we are.
So, while IND invariably chooses the wrong horse, it comes up trumps every time by luck (sadly the horse on which IND rides invariably meets a rather sad fate)
