Taliban’s Afghanistan: An Emerging Security Challenge for India and Central Asia

Addressing vulnerability and promoting security
Sep 26, 2022 | Observer Research Foundation

Relations between India and the Central Asia Republics (CARs) - Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan - have matured over the past three decades, primarily in the areas of military technology, defence, counterterrorism, and economy, and culture. In this brief for the Observer Research Foundation, Ayjaz Wani assesses the evolving situation in a Afghanistan and its implications for the region’s security and stability. He discusses the scope for India and the CARs to solidify their partnership in the context of the Taliban’s emergence as a political force and suggests that a cooperative Taliban is key to India’s regional connectivity initiatives. The CARs are keen for these initiatives to succeed to reduce their dependence on China, while India evaluates them in the context of countering China’s Belt and Road Initiative in its neighbourhood.
