"The recurring Afghanistan–Pakistan crisis has implications far beyond their bilateral relationship." Examine its impact on India's security and strategic interests.

Tips for your answer

  • ✅ 1. Cover both security and strategic dimensions. Do not restrict the answer only to terrorism.
  • ✅ 2. Remember examples such as Chabahar Port, the Salma Dam, the Afghan Parliament, ISKP and TTP. These add value to the answer.
  • ✅ 3. Avoid treating the issue as a purely India-Pakistan problem. Link it to regional stability, connectivity and India's broader geopolitical interests.
