This piece is by India's leading hawkish security scholar and is, surprisingly, opposed to Obama's mission in Afghanistan, which one might have thought Indian hawks would support as the target of the US in Afghanistan is also an adversary of India's. He argues that the US strategy is ill conceived as its stated target, Al Qaeda, does not require a substantial troop presence to fight anymore while the Taleban would require a much larger one. He suggests also that if the US pulled out it might take a "broader" (ie less "soft on Pakistan") view of international terrorism.
