Abstract
Afghanistan is a landlocked country and located in a strategic location, connecting Central Asia to South Asia and East Asia to West Asia. For centuries, it functioned as the economic corridor for the Silk Route and other ancient trade routes in this region. Due to close borders to Kashmir, Afghanistan’s issue directly affect the Indian as well as Pakistan occupied Kashmir. The terrorist groups and radical Jihadi groups concentrate on Kashmir to radicalize the vulnerable Islamic population with the help of separatists. After the American Defence Forces vacated the Afghanistan territory, a huge number of terrorists is supposed to be moved out to its neighboring counties as they are looking towards the new enemies for Jehad. Most favorite/vulnerable place for the same is Indian Occupied Kashimir where they can easily infiltrate through POK being facilitated by ISI as it has established several Launch Pads over there.
