DNA Special: What Taliban's rise across Afghanistan means for India

Today, let us talk about Afghanistan, where the Taliban is crossing all limits of brutality for a coup. In a recent video, Taliban terrorists were seen gunning down 22 unarmed soldiers of Afghanistan. These soldiers were ready to surrender there, but despite this, the Taliban brutally killed all these soldiers. Taliban is now only 400 km away from Jammu and Kashmir. And in the coming days, the Taliban will come in such a position that they will be able to export terrorism to Jammu and Kashmir.

After the Doha Agreement between the US and the Taliban, there is a war-like situation in Afghanistan. And under this agreement, 90 percent of American troops have left Afghanistan and the Taliban is slowly moving towards capturing the whole of Afghanistan.

Afghanistan has a total of 407 districts. The Taliban has completely captured 212 of these districts. There is a struggle for possession between the Taliban and Afghanistan in 119 districts. And only 76 districts are controlled by the government of Afghanistan.

The Taliban, however, claim that the government has lost control of only a few districts and now controls 85 percent of the area. According to this, in the coming few days, there will be Taliban rule in Afghanistan.

It is a matter of concern for India that this time the Taliban is occupying the border areas with other countries instead of central Afghanistan. The Taliban have taken control of the districts bordering Iran, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan. And this time, the Taliban's strategy is clear that it will strengthen itself on the border areas so that when its government comes there, the neighboring countries cannot put pressure on it, and once again it can run its brutal rule in Afghanistan.

The Taliban is only 400 km away from the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. The Taliban have captured the Badakhshan province of Afghanistan, which borders Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Now if the Taliban establish their government by capturing all the districts of Afghanistan, then they will be able to easily send their terrorists to Jammu and Kashmir and help Pakistan. And this is the reason why the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan is so happy with the strengthening of the Taliban.

Apart from Pakistan, China can also become a challenge for India. That is because while Pakistan has influence over the Taliban, China is currently the biggest investor for Afghanistan. At present, there are big Chinese projects going on in Afghanistan and the Taliban knows that if it wants to keep its position strong then it will need Chinese money the most. And for this reason, the Taliban has announced that it will not even touch Chinese projects in Afghanistan.

It is also an irony that the think tanks of Western countries and the United Nations, which give lectures to the whole world on human rights, are not very active about the current situation in Afghanistan. That too, when it is well known that the Taliban rule in Afghanistan will crush human rights, as it did before 2001.

At that time, the Taliban strictly enforced Sharia law. And under this, it had issued a Taliban decree for men to keep beards and women to keep their full bodies covered, violating which was publicly punished. Apart from this, there was also a ban on watching music, movies and television at that time and girls above the age of 10 were not allowed to go to school. Simply put, if the Taliban comes to Afghanistan again, the same thing will happen there.
