How will the situation in Afghanistan affect India?
Former foreign secretary Shashank says that the primary challenge before India is to protect its citizens and relief workers in Afghanistan. There is also a big challenge that after the domination of the Taliban, Lashkar and Jaish will get open fields. They will start targeting Indian interests. So that the rest of the Indians move away from there. The role of Pakistan's army and ISI will increase there. More than 100 Indian nationals were brought back to the country on Sunday.
India can consider these 5 points
Raise the flag of continued support for Afghanistan by mobilizing the United States and its allies.
Stick to the decision to continue supporting the current government of Kabul. Humanitarian relief should be given for as long as possible.
Military supplies should be made to the army of Afghanistan and its air force should be strengthened. The Taliban seem to be in danger of this. That is why threats are being given to India.
Contact the Taliban. This is happening behind the scenes too. Anti-China-Pakistan Taliban are also active in Afghanistan.
The last option is easy. That is to just keep an eye on the situation. It should be ensured that the Taliban confine themselves to that area and not move towards our borders. With this, China-Pakistan will have to face the flames of the Afghan civil war directly.
