Taliban a year long regime -From Taliban 1.0 to Taliban 2.0
After waging a war against Afghanistan democratic government and U.S troops ,Taliban finally gained controlled over Afghanistan in 2021.Amid all much has been changed for Afghani people and India strategic interest and its ties with Afghanistan .
How Taliban occupied Afghanistan space- a history
Taliban spread in Afghanistan in 1994 as fundamentalist group , largely consist of students of know as (talib),from the Pashtun area pf east and southern Afghanistan who had been educated in traditional islamic school ( madrasa)..After having complete control over Afghanistan in 1996 it ruled till 2001 before being ousted by U.S troops that led to gradual establishment of democratic form of government.
what has been changed -(tracing back history )
When Taliban took over the Kabul, Afghanistan was in ruins devastated by civil war but things have changed in incremental manner with the help of foreign aids and active engagement of countries like India ,U.S, etc especially India contributed heavily ,by building infrastructures such as roads, dams , electricity transmission lines ,hospital and other basic rural infrastructures but things have changed when Taliban captured the Kabul in 2021 by militant action but the major impediment that cast a shadow is lack of fund and finances.
when we gaze towards civil and political spectrum the scenario appears same as replication of old model like a same wine in new bottle despite Taliban pledged a liberal form of government but after took over it gradually shift back to old practice of harsh interpretation of sharia law .
meanwhile, the Taliban failed to provide afghan people security ,adequate food and economic opportunities.
women were banned to attend educational institution that deprives them from one of the basic component that governs the right to live with liberty and dignity.
one news also surfaced that shows even in public spaces there is clear demarcation between male and female group that clearly unveils the curtain of reforms promised by the Taliban.
even UN and other human right protection agencies also highlighted numerous human right violations .
India stake and stand in current scenario
As Afghanistan is vital for India on many fronts and the afghani people believes in India right from their heart
as they have cultural roots from ancient times when Afghanistan used to be a part of India but thing have changed during passage of time but still Afghani people have faith in India Diplomacy ,India has also fulfilled its own commitment by building all major infrastructure projects like ,construction of Salma dam in Herat province ,Delaram -Zaranj highway ,construction of afghan parliament etc.
As Afghanistan provides a gateway to central Asia by bypassing Pakistan , and India also developed Chabahar port that can be connected through Delaram -Zaranj.
after the Taliban took over of Afghanistan India closed its embassy in Afghanistan but India continues to support the afghani people through food aids and medicines since 2021.
on the other hand Taliban and its leaders are struggling to find international recognition and they have inclined towards china to take lead but china is apprehensive and cautious on fact that Afghanistan does not become launching pad for uighur muslim in Xinjiang province where china is accused of oppression of uighur muslim human rights.
where as Pakistan who is long term adversary of India indirectly support Taliban to fulfil its own geopolitical interest and the synergy and coordination between China,Pakistan and Afghanistan is cause of concern for India.
considering this trilateral axis co-ordination India should reinvigorate itself and actively engages with current Taliban regime by strengthening its land border security arrangement and move dynamically in global diplomatic space to further own strategic interest as well as pitch for re-establishment of democratic values in Afghanistan and improvement in living condition of people in Afghanistan.
