Abstract
Afghanistan is the new front line and source of insecurity between the traditional rivals. The study is based on the grounded methodological analysis of Indian role in Afghanistan and the changing regional security scenario in post-9/11 era. The changing embryonic regional paradigm is challenging the status quo and indicating a major shift in the security trends in South Asia with severe implications for Pakistan. The study critically analyses the relational concept of security, which will be defined under an area of concern in South Asia rather than a precise condition, supported by the realist and behavioral paradigm ‘Social Realism’ justifying Indian realist ends through social means in Afghanistan. It examines the historic events of India-Afghanistan nexus, and explores growing Indian influence in Afghanistan and her smart activities in order to attain her preferred outcomes. It also discusses the possible repercussions for Pakistan’s security, strategic encirclement and Indian hegemonic intentions.
