The Taliban's latest "vice and virtue" law strips Afghan women of their most basic rights, silencing their voices and erasing them from public life.

There are too many moving pieces in this regional great game. China, Russia, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, India, Pakistan - all want to take control of this important piece of the jigsaw puzzle to build their influence in the region

94 Afghans and 10 Indians were evacuated by the Indian government following the Delhi High Court’s recent directive to the Centre to decide on the representation of the distressed Indians and Afghan nationals

Will the Indian government save its huge investments in Afghanistan and not be reduced into a non-entity in the region? Or, will it only choose to use the Taliban for its shallow ends in domestic politics, to win elections, and score brownie points by polarising on communal grounds through fake media narratives?

India’s Afghan problem is bigger than what is made out to be! Not only in terms of the American squeeze on Jammu and Kashmir or troop deployment at the Pakistan-China border, there is a lot to watch out for, as US troops prepare to leave the landlocked country.
