Afghan-Indian relations

Afghan-Indian relations have historically been shaped by cultural, political, and economic ties. India has been involved in Afghanistan's development, providing aid and infrastructure support, especially after the fall of the Taliban in 2001. India also shares concerns about terrorism in the region, especially with the Taliban's recent resurgence. Meanwhile, Afghanistan has seen India's role as a counterbalance to Pakistan's influence. However, complexities arise from regional geopolitics, with Pakistan viewing India's involvement in Afghanistan with suspicion. Overall, the relationship is marked by a mutual desire for stability and development, despite ongoing political challenges.
