India has sent a 75 men strong contingent of special Indo-Tibetan Border Police commandos to serve in Afghanistan where terrorist activities from Pakistan is seeing a marked rise for the past 18 months.

Earlier 'Press Trust Of India' had reported that at least 134 highly trained commandos would be dispatched in two batches. The first batch of 75, according to source, is said to have already left for Afghanistan. The second batch of around 50 commandos is expected to be sent in the first week of July 2007.

The troops will be deployed for protection of Indian Border Roads Organization personnel contracted for constructing crucial roadway links among major cities and regions in Afghanistan. This decision was taken by the Indian Govt. after it received an SOS from BRO engineers constructing the 218-km Zaranj-Delaram highway, a strategic road that will connect Kandahar to the Western regions of Afghanistan.

With the reinforcements, the total number of ITBP commandos in Afghanistan for protection of Indian workers will go up to 388 as 254 are already there for the task.

I am aware of a killing of one Indian Engineer in Afghanistan to make the deploying Indian Forces POSSIBLE.

He was killed by RAW and Taliban were blamed. I was in Afghanistan at that time (December 2005).

With afghanistan being a friendly and dependent country, do we need to have such an outlandish claim? For God's sake, we are building its parliament building. If the commandos are needed for afghanistan we need not have such a claim. Please name your sources.

Well, you supported one set of warlords, we supported another set. The only thing is the ones you supported had their ideologies rooted in 1500s but whom we support are flexible and willing to be practical.

Afghanistan is not our neighbour and so no reason of having any enmity or such with us, whereas Pakistan and afghanistan have the durand line issue. Also, not being a neighbour implies we can leave at any moment without any baggage to carry but you have to carry that even if we do anything there.

Apart from these two, not much difference.
