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.
