A definitive account, grounded in history, of the strategic axis between
New Delhi and Kabul. The archetype of 'my enemy's enemy is my friend',
India's political and economic presence in Afghanistan is often viewed
as a Machiavellian ploy aimed against Pakistan. The first of its kind,
this book interrogates that simplistic yet powerful geopolitical
narrative and asks what truly drives India's Afghanistan policy.My
Enemy's Enemy provides a comprehensive analysis of India's strategy
debates and foreign policymaking processes vis-a-vis Afghanistan, from
the last decade of the Cold War to the 1990s Afghan civil war and the
more recent US-led war on terror. It demonstrates that Indian presence
in Afghanistan has been guided primarily by an enduring vision for the
region that requires a stable balance of power across the Durand Line.
