Pakistan alleges the India's foreign intelligence agency R&AW is working in cover to malign Pakistan and train and support insurgents,[5][6][7] a claim rejected strongly by India.[8]

India has built over 200 public and private schools, sponsors over 1,000 scholarships, hosts over 16,000 Afghan students."[9] Relations between Afghanistan and India received a major boost in 2011 with the signing of a strategic partnership agreement,[10][11] Afghanistan's first since the Soviet invasion of 1979.[12]
