Indian delegation's visit to Afghanistan: taking care of investment of 22 thousand crores, India will also surround Pakistan

The first visit of India's high-level delegation to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan will prove to be a masterstroke in South Asian politics in many ways. During the last 20 years, India had invested about 22 thousand crore rupees in Afghanistan. It involved many projects. More than 5 thousand Indians were working there on these projects.

In August 2021, India closed its embassy in Kabul after the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. Now the Indian government has adopted the diplomacy of sending food grains and medicines on a humanitarian basis to enhance relations with the Taliban government. Another aspect of this visit is to reduce the influence of Pakistan in Afghanistan. The anti-India Haqqani faction is weakening under the Taliban government. Taking advantage of this opportunity, India is taking care of its investment and is also surrounding Pakistan with geopolitics.

America-West countries are also planning to increase penetration, India's big bet

The US and Western countries may be claiming to boycott the Taliban government, but they are providing aid to the Afghan government on humanitarian grounds through Germany and Japan. The UAE is also operating the Kabul airport. In such a situation, India has also played a big bet.

There are positive signs for India that the present Taliban government has declared zero support to terrorism in Kashmir. At the same time, Tehreek-e-Taliban is opening a front against the Pak Army.

There is still a good chance for India to increase its presence in Afghanistan because Pakistan wants to barricade the Durand Line with Afghanistan, but the Taliban and Pashtun people are against it. The Taliban government does not give status to the Durand Line built during the British Raj. In such a situation, the attitude of the Taliban government of Afghanistan towards Pakistan is now visible. India has taken steps to increase its presence in Afghanistan at the right time.
