AFGHANISTAN: INDIA ON HIGH TABLE BUT WITH LIMITED OPTIONS
The US has recommended to include India in the UN-led six-party platform on Afghanistan. This is based on the fact that India
will play a critical role as head of the Taliban sanctions committee, or the 1988 sanctions committee, in the UN Security
Council. As the chair of this committee, India will be able to monitor the conduct of Taliban leaders, some of whom are based
out of Pakistan and backed by Pakistan. The study examines Russia’s U-turn on India’s inclusion; elements of the draft
‘Afghanistan peace agreement’; concerns for India as Pakistan could make gains; suggestion that India should directly engage
with Taliban; India options being circumscribed by mutated regional geopolitics’
