text: As the coalition forces prepare to exit Afghanistan, concerns regarding peace and stability
  in the country and future power balance after their departure are becoming paramount.
  While there will be a considerable American presence, focus has now shifted to local
  infrastructure and services - civil, military and political and their ability to further peace and
  progress in the country. Owing to the geostrategic landscape of Afghanistan, in addition to
  its long conflict ridden history with a significant presence of the Taliban, concerns
  regarding revival of conflict and violence are coming to the fore – particularly from
  traditional South Asian rivals i.e. India and Pakistan. Through an in-depth study of the
  political, economic, cultural and regional dimensions of this tri-lateral relationship, the
  following paper examines how there is a significant clash of interests and how there can
  cooperation between India and Pakistan in Afghanistan.
