Abstract
Three inevitable realities instigate this study. Primarily, the goal of security in the
region will most likely be accomplished just if as a minimum some level of cooperation
is achieved between the major countries of the region. Second, Afghanistan cannot
advance economically or enhance its security and administration independently without
some cooperation from India and Pakistan. Third, although many strategists view the
idea of Pak-India cooperation with distrust, there are many common grounds where
both can gain considerable security, governance, and economic advantages. Most of the
existing studies are focused on the assumptions that how peace in the region will come.
First view is about involvement of USA and European countries (Western World) on one
side and stake holders (Afghan Administration & Taliban) in Afghanistan on the other.
Some believe in a trilateral pattern i.e. Western World, Afghan stake holders and
Pakistan. Many also highlight the importance of support from neighboring countries
like Iran, the Central Asian Republics (CARs), and China. This study highlights the
significance of a trilateral (India, Pakistan and Afghanistan) solution in Afghanistan
and the steps forward from this particular aspect. The possible answer to security
dilemma of Pakistan in the context of Afghanistan is a solution within the region.
