India is stepping up the training of Afghan National Army (ANA) as it is also considering supply of military equipment to the weakened force in the backdrop of the United States-led coalition’s preparation to withdraw from Afghanistan by 2014. India is worried about the stability of the strategically-located Afghanistan after 2014 because it is likely to witness a concomitant surge in the activity of the Taliban post withdrawal, Times of India reported Saturday.
Indian Defence Ministry sources said that a major Indian effort has been launched for capability enhancement of the ANA to ensure it can handle the internal security of Afghanistan after the exit of the 100,000 foreign soldiers from there by end-2014.
Indian Defence Minister Arackaparambil Kurien Antony, in fact, recently warned the Indian military to be on guard in case it had to tackle “any spillover effect” of the Taliban or Haqqani network in Jammu and Kashmir. Though India has worked largely on re-construction and developmental projects in the war-ravaged country over the last decade, it is now also increasing the number of ANA personnel 574 to be trained in different Indian Army establishments.
The training includes counter-terrorism operations, military field craft, intelligence, counter-improvised explosive devices (IEDs), information technology, battle-field nursing assistance and, of course, the English language. Afghan personnel are also being attached to the Infantry School at Mhow, Artillery School at Devlali and Mechanised Infantry Regimental Centre at Ahmed Nagar for specialized courses. India has posted some army officers in the central Asian nation to teach basic military and English skills and military doctors to help at hospitals in Kandahar and other Afghan cities. The training of Afghan pilots and technicians in operating Russian-origin Mi-35 attacking helicopters is also being discussed. A joint Indian military-civilian team had also gone to Kabul earlier this month after Afghan President Hamid Karzai submitted a wish list of military equipment to India during a visit in May. The 17-page list includes armoured vehicles, 105mm artillery guns, utility helicopters, trucks, communication equipment and the like.
Sources said the visit of an ANA Strategic Group to India along with 10 high-ranking officers, was also planned from September 1 to 13. The delegation will hold talks with the top military officials, apart from visiting military establishments in Pune, Mumbai and Bangalore.
india now become super power in asia,and ,were PAKISTAN is?our,s is a failed nation,terrorist hub of world .we must learn from them
Premature analysis — there is a big game at play, my man Akram. And people like you aren't helping us win by self-hating and spreading widespread disappointment. Keep your cool — we're gonna come out on top of this.
.
But historically we win only when we get to the bottom …
.
one thing i like about India is they do work silently without any noise and suddenly some thing comes out and becomes top headline in the world.This is called silent diplomacy.Very good India i like it.
Pakistan has learnt it fast. First and foremost; Pakistani politicians must stop treating its men in uniform, the Armed Forces of Pakistan as stand alone structures.
I am an Indian.. loves people without considering whether they are from India or Pakistan..
I have to tell you my brothers and sisters in Pakistan.. Please do concentrate on below things"
Love, Study, Work
you will surely become top nation in the world.
Please dont make breaks in peace.
you know one thing we most of the people from India loves your country and people.
I would like to say one example : If " Pakistan plays Cricket world Final with Australia or someone from other continent – we supports Pakistan.. That is most Indians doing/.
But desparately you doing just reverse… Why?
we are brothers of same mother,,,,,
Please join hands with India,,, You can also become Super Power as India in the world.
Your bro
i am agree with u ajdon if we create difference in our minds than nothing is going to change.firstly we have to show unity with our brothers and sisters live in india or some part of the world than every thing will going to change.

Dear Aslam,
Thanks for comment.
Let us try to learn our children to love "human" first, god second and religion third.
I would like to add some scenarios in my native place( In India), prior to that I am informing you I am Hindu.
We seems you as our good neighbors, even today's PAK-West-indies cricket match I saw, and you know Afridi have lot of fans here.
Most of my friends are muslims, but I didn't feel any difference; we are staying in a single house at our job location.
Even I was a daily visitor in my nearest masjid.
In hindu festivels almost every muslims participating, not only muslims but also cristians and all other community peoples
Even we hindus are voting for muslim league (political party).
And one more thing Indian people are still hopes one day will come on that Pak will be our friend.
Please make your contribution for the sake your nations peace, via that peace will come to other countries also.
I pleased to know that people in Pak as you have good social sense, it will help your nation to become good model to the world.
good to know you.
I felt amaze why PAK banned Bollywood and IPL(Indian Premier League)…
Since Bollywood is the Second most big film industry in the world..even it is more bigger than that of chineese.
And IPL ofcourse the biggest league after English Premier League..
If you see bollywood movies you will understand how Indians are considering ou and our neibouring nations..
Bye
Aj
hi
okay
First every one should know that countries are being run by the People selected government, and government never runs the country in the best interest of people, specially the Asians. Now comes to Pakistan and India, forget bout every thing an remember one thing, Pakistan and India are two different countries with two different ideologies, Its not like India is super Power it cant be without Pakistan, A rich is rich until there is a poor.
Next thing is India is involved in terror activities in Balochistan I have a wide study about this.
please any tell me why Indians are interested in Afghanistan,,,, despite no one even know the language Indians are speaking and afghanis are speaking , one thing is common in Indian and Afghanis they both are EHSAN FARAMOSH.
I bet one thing
the poor security conditions will remain like this for a while until Indians are kicked off Afghanistan…..
I wonder why India don't want to see Pakistan flourish and one more thing poor and pathetic politicians of Pakistan
try to learn form your mistakes.
and please do some thing better for Pakistan.
