Renewed Ties
June 29, 2022
Associate Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr Anand Kumar’s article on India-Afghanistan relations ‘Renewed ties’ has been published in ‘The Statesman’ on 29 June 2022.
The Taliban’s coming back to power had posed a policy challenge to India and the country did not know what kind of relationship would be proper. But a few months down the line it appears that complete discontinuation of diplomatic relationship would be like leaving the field open for hostile powers like Pakistan and China. The presence of Taliban as rulers of Afghanistan is a reality and India has to find a way to navigate in the environment, says Dr Kumar.
