  • India's Response to the Soviet Military Intervention in Afghanistan
    Indian Foreign Affairs Journal Vol. 1, No. 1, January - March 2006, 123-131 ORAL HISTORY India’s Response to the Soviet Military Intervention in Afghanistan I. K. Gujral Former Prime Minister, late Inder Kumar Gujral was India’s Ambassador to the Soviet Union during the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan in 1979. He recalls how India responded to the intervention. Indian Foreign Affairs Journal (IFAJ): Sir, there is a general impression that India endorsed the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan in 1979. I. K. Gujral (IKG): It would not be correct to assume that India had at any stage endorsed the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan. We had never checked our independent foreign policy. But before I come to that, it is necessary for us to understand the context of our Afghan policy in that phase. You may recall that I was India’s Ambassador in Moscow those days. It surprised the diplomatic community in Moscow, when in December 1979 the Soviets decided to militarily intervene. Of course it was an adjustment of the developments in Iran where the entire American Embassy staff had been captured by the young Iranian radicals making the international community and myself believe that it would be impossible for the US President (Jimmy) Carter and his government to tolerate this humiliation. The capture of an entire diplomatic staff of America was a big loss of face. I may recall that the Carter regime had made an aborted attempt to enter Tehran to whisk them away. This widely circulated failure added to Carter’s mortification reducing the superpower’s professed might to dispense with them.
