| Summary/Abstract |
The absence of a democratically elected government, the poor state of law and order and the many restrictions and violations of basic rights, especially those of women, under Taliban rule in Afghanistan are developments of deep concern. Moreover, the increasing tension along the Durand line with Pakistan, and the challenge posed by the Islamic State-Khorasan to the Taliban have made the security situation precarious. This paper examines the emerging strategic and security trends in Afghanistan in the post-Taliban takeover period. Should India engage with the Taliban regime so that it can influence its decisions, provide aid to its needy, and limit the security impact for the region, especially on Jammu and Kashmir? What would be the fallout if the Taliban regime is recognised and its relationship with the international community is formalised?

| Summary/Abstract |
The Taliban sat at the negotiating table with the Afghan opposition in Moscow in February 2019. Although Ashraf Ghani, the current president of the country, refused to be there and criticized the negotiations, the Taliban and the current regime's opposition — including Hamid Karzai — made important decisions on bringing peace and stability to Afghanistan. If the negotiations conclude as expected, the most important outcome would be for the Taliban to continue as a legitimate actor in Afghan politics. The basic issues between the two sides are for American soldiers to withdraw from Afghan soil and for the Taliban to cease hosting terror groups like al‐Qaeda. While the Taliban seemed to soften its radical views on women's rights, it demanded a release of prisoners and the removal of Taliban members from the sanctions lists.
