Bilateral relation between republic of INDIA and AFGHANISTAN has been strong and close over these years. republic of INDIA was the first country to recognize the soviet backed republic of AFGHANISTAN in the year of 1980's. however in the 1990's era the relation between these countries got diminished as the political hue and cry in AFGHANISTAN was overtaken by the Taliban govt. who was backed by the Islamist country i.e; PAKISTAN. in order to restore the friendly relation between these countries INDIA provided financial aid to the UN where UN entered in 2001 and by the end of majority of the Talibani leaders were killed or were arrested that again accelerated the relation between these countries and INDIA provided AFGHANISTAN for its reconstruction and developmental projects.
INDIA sign a bilateral strategic relation between these two countries in 2011 and form that time AFGHANISTAN has became the second largest recipient of financial assistance from INDIA. Now the question arise that why AFGHANISTAN is important for INDIA, for your curiosity these following points will help to end your hunger to know:-
1.As INDIA has done a bilateral strategic relation with AFGHANISTAN so INDIA has became committed to help them so by the end of 2014 INDIA has provided with $ 2 bn, INDIA is committed for modernization of afghan defense by latest arms and equipment's and through joint military program mes.
2. AFGHANISTAN is vital for the revival of silk route that will connect INDIA with the central Asian countries for trade and energy resources in this context INDIA has already started working in this direction through TAPI project which is 735 km long gas pipeline that will connect the four countries TURKMENISTAN, AFGHANISTAN, PAKISTAN, AND INDIA.
3. As INDIA is a developing country we need energy and this energy demand can be satisfied by Afghanistan because the geographic condition of AFGHANISTAN is bestowed with the natural resources like iron, copper, gold etc then it also have petroleum reserves, natural gas and oil. since most of the area of AFGHANISTAN has been explored due to frequent wars insurgency so even we cannot deny the very fact that it may have more natural resources beyond our imagination.
4. many of our INDIAN companies have already invested in the mining sector of AFGHANISTAN which exceeds more than that of $ 10 bn like SAIL , GAIL etc.And other INDIAN companies are also planing to invest in the petroleum sector so it has became the need of the INDIAN companies to have security to them and this security can be provided only by the AFGHAN soldiers at cheap rate so it will not create more monetary pressure on our finance ministry and this all these will be available at cheaper rate to INDIA.
