Why India Asked the Taliban to Drive Its Diplomats to Safety
India reportedly asked the Taliban to escort its diplomats to safety, an extraordinary request reflecting the fragile security situation in Afghanistan and the unusual pragmatism of New Delhi's dealings with Kabul's rulers. The episode highlights how India, with no formal ties to the Taliban administration, must still rely on it to protect its officials, prompting debate over India's Afghanistan policy.
Why now: The extraordinary sight of India depending on the Taliban for its diplomats' protection challenges assumptions about the two sides' hostile relationship.
