‘Afghanistan be damned’ - Why Pakistan is irked with Taliban & why they repudiate the Durand Line

Pakistan Army chief’s ‘whole of Afghanistan can be damned’ remark, followed by Taliban minister calling Durand Line ‘imaginary’ brought back attention to a boundary dispute dating back to 1893. In Episode 1389 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta traces the roots of this dispute that is straining already soured ties between the two countries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3:25 - Iran struck facilities in Pakistan which it claimed belonged to 'Jaish al-Adl'
6:10 - 'When it comes to safety & security of every single Pakistani, whole of Afghanistan can be damned'
9:35 - Soviet Union had withdrawn forces from Afghanistan by 1989
12:12 - Treaty of Gandamak was signed between then Afghan emir & British in 1879
15:30 - Pakistan wants Afghanistan to recognise Durand Line as international border
18:55 - Loya Jirga in July 1949 refused to recognise Durand Line as international border
21:00 - Henry Mortimer Durand served as India's foreign secretary from 1884 to 1894

    Your evaluation is incorrect. British did win the Second Anglo Afghan war, the king was a puppet, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Anglo-Afghan_War . Actually Afghanistan in its entire history has always been under one power or the other (Persian Empire, Mauryan empire, Macedonian), actually the entire region didn't even have a name, Afghanistan is very recent nomenclature. All this fighting spirit is not true actually the culture there is to give up quickly and assimilate under winning power which we saw how the ANA rapidly dissipated. Soviet loss is primarily due to US support, stingers etc and in American invasion they all ran away to Pakistan and just outlasted the Americans.

    Fact is that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa would not be in Pakistan had first the Marathas (1758) and then the Sikhs (1834) not captured the area. That put the majority of Pashtuns under foreign rule, and should have been returned to Afghanistan when India was partitioned in 1947. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is under Pakistani occupation so of course the Afghans will never accept that.

    The key thing in Pakistan's case has been the company it has been keeping - the US. Pakistan thought it could also play the games that the US had been playing all through history with regime changes and installation of puppet governments. But one key thing the Pakistanis missed noticing was that the US was playing these games in distant lands with its land and population completely removed and insulated from these war zones. Pakistan made the mistake of playing these games in its own front yard (India) and its backyard (Afghanistan & Iran). In contrast US has superb relations (read NAFTA) with its neighbours Mexico and Canada. I guess this fact was lost on the Pakistanis while they were taking pages from the US game book Plus unlike the US it lacked the deep pockets for such adventures

    The reason why no great power could “win” Afghanistan is not because of some mythical skill of the afghan tribes but majorly because of the terrain and that alone. It’s extremely hard for any expeditionary force to fight in mountainous terrain while keeping the supply lines intact, even with the modern day air power and precision bombing it’s hard and ridiculously expensive in terms of manpower and money. The soviets were truly the only ones who handed the mujahideen their arse in equal battles. Their airborne divisions were exceptionally par excellence and beat the afghans in their own game. The American successes in eliminating taliban top leadership is mostly due to superior technology and deep pockets.

For instance Kabul or mazaar is affectionately called as “ Kabul jaan” or “ mazarjaan” Jaan = ji As if these cities were living entities! Moreover than the fierceness in battle, afghans take pride in their poetry, culture , Rick literature.

Even the Deccan in India where the Maratha empire was born has also the same terrain and the Marathas were hardy as hell. They defeated the Mughals. Similar is the case with Gorkhas of Nepal. So the importance of terrain cannot be understated. The Marathas fought in the mountains as well as plains against Mughal forces, unlike the afghans who just employed nothing more than guerilla warfare, never fought in plains. Babur or Ghazni weren’t your ancestors. They were your invaders too, just that they belong to the same religion as yours, noting else. Bdw, the afghan land was once ruled by Hindu kings but after spread of Islam and forced conversions it is now Islamic, just like how pakistan and bangladesh now is.

    Durand Line expired in 1993 and we don’t want to be involved in 🇵🇰 anymore. I don’t know if everyone keeps forgetting or not Afghanistan played a major role after WWI to make sure Indian subcontinent gets freedom. The history has it that Hindus and muslims were getting training from Afghanistan. Now also before Muslim league organization came into play…the Pathan (Afghan) muslims Politicians-who joined Indian congress the famous independence freedom movement for this same reason for freedom of NWFP and Baluchistan region along with it… When Pakistan was created by the help of British so that British can stay in the region for another 30 years. Thanks to British famous for its hobby/fantasy for contributing and continuously creating Niqba wherever they left…. No I am not talking about American civil war or middle east creation of Z group country. But rather 12 million displaced sikhs and hindus and millions death. So just like Z group country pakistan was its sister country created for Arabia can fantasize on expanding Islam in India and while non muslims can enjoy entertainment of Z Group expansion in the middle east… The fact that British lost WWII and American influence grew they had to give up. Pakistan was created Afghanistan rejected its creation. Pakistani people are sympathetic to Afghans and Afghans are sympathetic towards Pakistan 🇵🇰. But politically speaking Afghanistan and Pakistan can never get along why? Because just like us Pathans they don’t recognize Durand Line as their border. Just like us they don’t want any future border with Afghan affiliated races (Baloch/Pashtun areas). It’s important for Pakistan to understand that take your taxes but don’t divide us we pathans of Pakistan are businessmen and back bones of Pakistan 🇵🇰. We sell pakistani products to central Asia and Europe. Therefore its at best for Pakistan to not touch upon Durand Line either leave it as is or open border like rest of Europe.

You Pashtuns or Pathans can keep your tradition we were never against it but when it comes to national integration no one is above state. The state does not work like that.

Is it true that many leaders of the national movement including Sardar Patel were ok with the Pashtun regions going to Pakistan as they knew it was an unfinished business and would lead to greater problems in future?

    The whole problem is created by the British, Jinnah and the congress leaders at that time. Everyone knows Indian history. The Mughals ruled it for almost 500 plus years. I am talking about Gori,Gazani till Aurangzeb etc. But from where did the Mughals came. They came from central Asia and Afghanistan. They captured vast lands of Indian rulers of so called Akhand Bharat and converted the locals and created a Islamic ideology. When britishers left, they created Pakistan to house the Muslim population of India. But Afghans felt that this land should have been given to them as they had originally captured it and if not for British government, it could have been returned to them to house the Muslims of India.

Unless lets say pakistan voluntarily lets go, or they are stripped off their nuclear weapons which can enable India to cut the region off. Voluntary letting go can only happen if a popular uprising in GB, leads to a soviet style break up and a request for accession. It seems very far fetched.

    America has three global lieutenants around the world. England(Uk) for Europe. Japan for Asia. Israel for Middle East. Obviously, These are the countries that act like the permanent military base for united states to serve American interests in these regions. Ofcourse, There are adjacent countries like Qatar, South Korea and Germany which want's the same attention from United States and perform the same function for the United States that other lieutenants do. As a result, you can see that Japan, England and Israel are sometimes bitter about Uncle Sam being too close to Germany, South Korea and Qatar. Tucker Carlson called Pakistan is as "A long term ally" of the united states.(no truer words than that have ever been spoken by any American Journalist). Pakistan has also love hate relationship with USA but loves to play global lieutenant of America in this region. Whoever controls the middle east controls the world, The Europeans once controlled the middle east so they ruled the world, now America controls the middle east so it controls the world, if the indications are true tomorrow China is going to control the world and global economy because they have forged a relationship with Middle East. They are the going to be the defacto epicenter of the global economy and trade in the coming years.

    Mr Gupta, you are factually incorrect about the second Anglo-Afghan war. The British has won and compelled the Emir to surrender his foreign affairs. Defense had remained with him. In 1897 he invaded the hitherto independent Kafiristan, succeeded in annexing it and forcibly converted the population to Islam. It was renamed Nuristan. For ages the people of Kafiristan had followed a polytheistic religion that was similar to or was off-shoot of Hinduism. They generally prohibited outsiders from entering but would sometimes permit Hindus and barred Muslims. All that had changed after 1897's war. 1897 also saw the war of Saragarhi when Afghan troops attacked British outposts but were defeated by a Sikh regiment. That war was picturized in the 2019 Akshay Kumar movie, Kesari.

    Out of all three main shows of the Print :- CTC is irregular, sometimes irrelevant, probably abridged versions are specially hated plus Mr Shekhar image of that of left leaning liberal if not woke doesn’t help (I personally have found him more or less reasonable), either ways to cut the letter on CTC, it needs to be regular and more relevant, may be try dropping just three videos per week if everyday is too much work. Praveen Swamy’s shows are frankly speaking ‘poor’ and are being seen only because of the good rapport of CTC. I can’t really place the problem with in his speech, he personally seems like an intelligent man but just look at the opening two lines of the explorer episode being referred to by Mr Shaekhar. His commentary is probably marred by the problem of trying to be to artistic, Shakespearean even but as of now the output is just poor (to use a rather parliamentary word). Mr Praveen Swamy needs to be just simple and clear. Topics are well thought out though. Politically Correct is however the best of all three. It’s sharp, simple, well delivered, speech is great, not mechanical ( like Mr Shekhar’s teleprompter run national interest) or Shakespearean ( trying too hard to be good like Mr Praveen). Plus the questions being answered by Politically correct are really interesting and inquisitive. Not a critic, just suggestions, if not agreed to keep doing what you are doing, it’s alright overall

    You are making a mistake when you rely on Amrullah Saleh stating that Pakistan created the Taliban. Remember that Saleh not only hates Pakistani govt but also doesn't like Pashtuns and views the Taliban as his enemies. By associating the Taliban's emergence completely with Pakistan and giving PAK credit for the Taliban, he is trying to undermine the Taliban's agency, power, success, and popularity. It is an old trick in AFG. The Pakistani govt used US and Saudi money and funded every viable group in AFG to divide and conquer and prevent cohesion in AFG. This way it could not only create division in AFG but also see which groups actually emerged victorious. PAK recognized that the Taliban realized quick victories and enjoyed popular support, however PAK did not create the Taliban. There was no need for PAK to create the Taliban bc the Mujahedeen were already fighting against the Soviets and later each other while receiving US/Saudi funds via PAK and keeping instability in AFG, which is what PAK wanted. The Taliban initially was a local movement that later caught the eye of the Pakistani govt, as any active or successful group did, and they, too, probably started receiving funds from PAK like the other groups did. Plus, I find it ironic that you keep repeating over and over how you can't call the administration that actually controls AFG and provides all govt services "the govt of AFG" bc other countries choose not to recognize it, but you go on and on about what Amrullah Saleh is saying. The guy who talked big but ran away and now sits somewhere in Tajikistan. Tons of gold and money was found in his home. If anyone is not the govt of AFG, it is Saleh, and he does not deserve such blind loyalty or credibility.
