Abstract
India, Iran, and Afghanistan signed trade agreements and corridor links, which will allow India’s access to Afghanistan via Iranian Chabaharport. The Chabahar route to Afghanistan will allow Indian goods to arrive at Kabul by sidelining Pakistan land route. The port politics in the Indian oceans starts a new debate about the state’s economic and strategic interest. In this paper, an objective analysis of the Chabahar port and Indian vested interests in this project has been discussed in detail. With Indian presence in the Chahabar, Pakistan faces various strategic challenges and implications that are also pinpointed along with policy recommendations to offset the problem in the best interest of Pakistan.
