Sommario:
  • <p>With the emergence of the new Taliban government, India’s foreign policy towards Afghanistan has undergone a pragmatic recalibration, shifting from disengagement to cautious re-engagement. In its outreach to the new Taliban government, New Delhi has managed to restore diplomatic relations with Kabul without formally recognising it. This changed approach reflects New Delhi’s prioritisation of core interests such as counterterrorism, regional stability, and the safeguarding of its long-standing developmental investments in Afghanistan. Furthermore, India has maintained strategic cooperation with regional and major powers, such as Russia, to ensure that its diplomatic gains in Afghanistan are consolidated. This kind of multivectoral policy demonstrates India’s efforts to reconcile normative concerns with strategic considerations through maintaining relations with the Taliban without formally recognising it. This article analyses the rationale and implications of India’s policy of engagement short of recognition by using a descriptive-analytical methodology and content analysis, drawing on official statements, Taliban pronouncements, UN Security Council reports, and other scholarly works.</p>
