Скачать или смотреть Express Explained.Live: Taliban 2.0 | Gautum Mukhopadhaya: What's Ahead For Afghanistan

Twenty years after the United States ousted Afghanistan's Taliban regime in response to the 9/11 terrorist attack, the wheel has turned full circle. The Taliban have stormed back to Kabul after taking over rest of the country as US troops began pulling out following President Joe Biden’s announcement that they would leave the country by August 31.

President Ashraf Ghani has left the country “to avoid bloodshed” and the Taliban have de facto replaced the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan with the “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan”.
Thousands of civilians are trying to leave the country fearing that Taliban will take the country back to its brutal 1996-2001 regime.

The swiftness of the take over has shocked both Afghans and the world. What are the implications of the Taliban takeover for Afghanistan, the world and the region ? What are India’s foreign policy options now? Should it engage with a Taliban-ruled Afghanistan? What is Taliban’s relationship with Pakistan and how might this affect India’s relationship with both countries? Will be there be a fallout of the Taliban takeover on the situation in Kashmir ?

Gautum Mukhopadhaya, who served as India's Ambassador to Afghanistan from 2010 to 2013, will answer these and many other questions.
