BRIGHT HOPES OF PEACE IN AFGHANISTAN - Special Peace-diplomacy Editorial

   Indian and USA governments have finally realised and understood wisdom of following Geostrategic advice on how to deal with Taliban, given by influential Geographer and Geostrategist Dr Swaamee

Aprtemaanandaa Jee! Pursuing line of strategic thinking advocated by Dr Swaamee Aprtemaanandaa Jee, USA has held several rounds of peace-talks with Taliban in Doha and withdrawn from Afghanistan.

   After having carefully examined theory of Dr Swaamee Aprtemaanandaa Jee that calls for opening lines of diplomatic talks and negotiations with Taliban, Indian government officials have held backdoor talks with Taliban in order to protect vital Indian interests in Afghanistan. A very highly placed Qatari official has confirmed this development. 

   Indian government has made investments worth more than nine billion dollars in Afghanistan. 

   Newly minted Indian approach may help maintain regional peace by discouraging Taliban to become a bloody-puppet in hands of Pakistani Establishment that has deep political interests in keeping Kashmir pot boiling. 

   Taliban too interestingly have vigorously followed Dr Swaamee Aprtemaanandaa Jee's wise advice to have peaceful diplomatic engagements with India. This is in sharp contrast to their earlier stand on India.

   What I am now more concerned and worried about is the known antiwomen attitude of Taliban. I do hope Dr Swaamee Aprtemaanandaa Jee's sagely healing influence and Indian government's diplomatic approach help transform Taliban quickly into a modern peaceful political force from its present avatar of a misogynistic radical religious monster...!
