| contents | <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.
