New Delhi: On 'Talking Point', Ambassador Gautam Mukhopadhaya, India's Former Envoy to Afghanistan in conversation with StratNews Global Associate Editor Amitabh P. Revi.

Two years after the Taliban retook power in Afghanistan on August 15, 2021, Ambassador Mukhopadhaya points out," Afghanistan is simply not in the news and the situation, both within and without seems to be largely one of stasis. Overall, what we see, is that the Taliban has really reasserted its hardline dogmatic interpretation of the Shariat." The former India envoy though adds, "The swagger that (former ISI Chief) General Faiz Hameed exhibited in Kabul at the time of the takeover, that swagger has gone. Pakistan itself is in deep trouble and is now facing blowback from precisely the kind of elements that they had harboured. A snake that they have reared is back to bite them."

Watch this interview for more on Ambassador Mukhopadhaya's assessment of where Afghanistan, the region, India, and the world stand, two years after the Taliban's return to power.
