There's another dimension to this fight. India's influence and gamesmanship has fallen flat.
ISLAMABAD, Sep 14 (APP): The capture of Panjshir by the Taliban is being dubbed as the ‘last nail in India’s coffin in Afghanistan’, as its huge investment in men and material to destabilize Pakistan has finally washed away.
India, being the major stakeholder of the ‘great game’ of disrupting the region’s peace, has suddenly been left high and dry after the swift takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban. Now for India, to use the Afghan soil against Pakistan, has become impossible.
The fall of Panjshir has also revealed the secret of its prolonged resistance, which owes to India’s continuous support to the Northern Alliance, a coalition of anti-Taliban warlords. The worst case scenario has come as a strategic shock for India, just like a ‘disgraceful silent death’ of the Indian network aimed to destabilize Pakistan.
