Between Kabulistan and Khorasan: Two Years of the Taliban in Afghanistan | Sushant Sareen
The Neighbourhood Scope || The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has completed two years in power. While no country has formally recognised the new regime, the members of the group’s interim cabinet have been meeting officials from Western and regional countries. Notwithstanding these engagements, the group has been unabashedly dismantling the rights and freedoms of women and ethnic minorities. The fanciful expectations of a reformed and relatively moderate Taliban regime have fallen flat. Even though the economic indicators have stabilised, common Afghans are still reeling under desperation for a better life. The growing attacks by the ISKP and the Taliban’s regressive justice delivery mechanisms have further exacerbated the country’s problems. Two years since the withdrawal of US forces from the country, there are questions that demand closer scrutiny.
In light of increasing factionalism, terror attacks, and dissent, will the Taliban be able to seek legitimacy, maintain their regime, and eventually gain recognition? How are common Afghans perceiving the regime and it's 'medieval' policies? How is the international community engaging with the Taliban on critical issues like terrorism, human rights, economic crisis, and climate change? How potent is the threat from ISKP to the regime and the broader region? With an increase in threats, counter-threats, and terror attacks inside Pakistan, how will the situation along the Af-Pak border evolve in the future, and impact the region?

Islaam means journey to the (Qayamat) end, for follower's. Sooner the better...
Brilliant info & discussion 😊👍🏽🇮🇳
I appreciate the insights of Shivam Shekhawat, Tricia Bacon & Raghav Sharma on Afghanistan! Nice effort! 👌
Such interesting discussion.
Today Taliban is not as same as earlier. 2021 Taliban has a sophisticated face but the persecution of minorities and women(esp.students) doesn't sound well.
I found the discussion quite engaging!!
Lalu,Mamata,Akal less,and Ra Fool are levis versions of these Tabilans ,it is Sin to born in a country where these guys lives
Must listen discussion
Sad that Nilofer Ayoubi missed it. Hard to appreciate a discussion on Afghanistan without a single Afghan on the panel. :(
My Respect. Salaam Nameste to illustrious panel Hosts Gusts viewers and especially to my co villager from Nowshera Pukhtoonkhwa ,Sushant Sareen ji
I see Sushant Sareen, I hit like. Simple.
Thank you for a riveting episode Sushant-Ji. Was hoping you'd use a finer brush for the opium bit and tell us how the ISI wove itself into that web.

Thanks a lot to Prof. Bacon for getting up early as Sushant said and looking so crisp 😊👍🏽🇮🇳
Seems like India's clout has decreased considerably than what was during 1st Taliban & India's decision makers heft also decreased due to bombarding by both sides of ideas resulting in going cold turkey
*these guys* 😅😅😅
Love how India gets scolded by Afgani 😆
Kabulistan is not even Afghanistan. It's an eternal part of Hind and therefore Pakistan's territory occupied by Afghan Neanderthals.
