Indo-Afghan Entente
For those of you keeping track, this means that India will now be giving over a billion dollars in aid to Afghanistan. This is pretty impressive for a developing country which really could use that money at home. On the other hand, India must be gambling that a billion dollars is a small price to pay to deny Pakistan "strategic depth" in Afghanistan and thereby reduce the number of casualties from militants in Kashmir and India more broadly.
