Trouble in Afghanistan is trouble for South Asia
This refers to the news titled “India to disfavour NATO forces exit” in war ravaged Afghanistan. This has reportedly been said at a multilateral conference on Afghanistan in London recently. This exposes the malicious intentions of the Indian leadership and its policy towards Afghanistan. They MoreCricket diplomacy
This refers to the article titled "Cricket diplomacy and the Indo-Pak peace process” by Ajaz A Wani (GK Jan 28).
