India and the Afghan Flag

India has presented Afghanistan with an enormous flag. It was recently hoisted over Kabul's historic Wazir Akbar Khan hill in early September on a flagpole more than 200 feet high. The flag measures 97 by 65 feet. Many observers state that the flag is symbolic of India's commitment to a strong Afghanistan; and a reminder to Pakistan and other nations that Afghanistan has neighbors that care about its future.
