Since the Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan (August 2021), the issue of its legitimacy has troubled the international community. However, this has not stopped ‘revisionist’ powers such as China and Russia from engaging with them. With the consolidation of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, it is evident that New Delhi may have little choice but to grudgingly accept that this oppressive regime is here to stay. This article delves into the reasons behind New Delhi’s choice to participate in “back door diplomacy” and reassess its stance on the Taliban. This article argues that external actors will largely limit India’s influence in Afghanistan. It further suggests that despite New Delhi’s humanitarian approach towards Afghanistan, there is no assurance that the Taliban will respect India’s larger diplomatic goals and national interests. Importantly, the Modi administration must be able to convince its Hindu support base and the opposition parties that working with the Taliban would benefit India in the long run. Given the multitude of factors at play, the significant stakes involved, and the “instability” in the region, New Delhi may face considerable challenges in managing its ties with the Taliban.

| Summary/Abstract |
As the Russia-Ukraine war enters a phase of attrition, Moscow is increasingly turning to the Global South for diplomatic support and ways to replenish its depleted resources. Likewise, given Pakistan’s grave economic situation and food crisis, the country is anxiously turning to Russia with open arms. This article examines the upward trajectory of relations between Moscow and Islamabad and analyses its implications for India. The article contends that although bilateral relations between Russia and Pakistan have their own dynamics, this confluence of interests takes on a completely new dimension when aligned with China. The war in Ukraine and the fluid global order have certainly complicated the geopolitical calculus in South Asia, and consequent reshuffling of positions may eventually push New Delhi away from Moscow.

| Summary/Abstract |
As the US presidential elections are just a few months away, the economic and strategic differences between India and the United States have come to the forefront. Trump–Modi partnership which started with ‘hugplomacy, is now transformed to that of ‘shadowboxing’. In this era, legacy as well as personal ties between the two leaders will matter little because national interests will be pursued relentlessly. India’s quest for autonomy in foreign policy and its ability to manage the contradictions with the United States will dictate the future course of relations between the two countries.
