The president of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai does not need any reasons for a trip to India. Indeed, his latest visit to Delhi last week was the third in as many years. Yet, if a pretext is ever needed for a Karzai visit, it can always be found. There are 481 universities in India and last week’s visit was ostensibly occasioned by a ceremony conferring an honorary doctorate on Karzai at the Lovely Professional University in the northwestern state of Punjab, which used to be a gateway for the invasions from Central Asia in much of India’s history through the past millennia.
