| Muttaqi’s visit to India and Darul Uloom | | |
Asad Mirza
The Acting Foreign Minister of Afghanistan Amir Khan Muttaqi is on a 7-days visit to India. The visit assumes importance as it is the first such high level visit by any Afghan official to India since the Taliban-led government of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan was proclaimed in August 2021, after the abrupt and hasty withdrawal of American forces from the country.
Acting Foreign Minister of Afghanistan Amir Khan Muttaqi, who arrived in New Delhi on Friday (October 10) held a meeting with Foreign Minister S Jaishankar in the national capital. In a post on X, Jaishankar said that the Afghan Foreign Minister's visit marks an “important step in advancing our ties and affirm... |

| | Pakistan’s Misunderstanding of TTP, BLA, and TTA | | |
By Fatima Baloch
Pakistani “regional experts” and self-styled analysts are no strangers to deception. Many have engaged in propaganda that misleads the public and contributes to failures in diplomacy and warfare. In particular, Pakistan’s Afghan policy suffers from poor leadership, flawed strategic thinking, and a lack of credibility on international platforms. Three persistent narratives have recently gained traction:
1. Pakistan is pressuring the Afghan Taliban—via China, Turkey, Qatar, and others—to take action against the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA).
2. The Supreme Leader of the Afghan Taliban has issued a fatwa declaring jihad again... |

Asad Mirza
President Trump has fired a fresh salvo from his wish list, ignoring sovereignty of an independent nation and ignoring all norms of international decorum and diplomacy. He seems to act like a child who must cry, when he wants to take control of any other sovereign country.
After making demands of taking over Greenland, Mexico and adding Canada to the USA, the US President Donald Trump has once again targetted a sovereign nation, just to fulfill his wish list or dreams or efforts to neutralise his arch foes.
In his latest demand, Trump said on Thursday (September 18) that his administration is pressing to “get back” the military base at Bagram, Afghanistan. The US presid... |

| | Pakistan's Objectives in Afghanistan | | |
By K N Pandita and Fatima Baloch
The creation of Pakistan in 1947 was deeply influenced by the British colonial strategy of "divide and rule." Rather than emerging from a purely organic nationalist movement, Pakistan was born out of the partition of British India under the pretext of religion—specifically, the "Two-Nation Theory." This division not only fractured the Indian subcontinent but also weakened Muslim political cohesion. The geopolitical repercussions of Pakistan's formation extended beyond its borders, profoundly affecting neighbouring Afghanistan.
The foundation of the Two-Nation Theory was later discredited when Pakistan disintegrated in 1971 and Bangladesh emer... |

The recent SCO Summit in Tianjin has provided India a timely opportunity to reset its ties with China and also prodded Russia to revive the old Russia, India, and China (RIC) forum. RIC may emerge as a potential defence against the US’s tariff mania by increasing trilateral cooperation and trade.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation’s (SCO) Summit in Tianjin in China, has emerged as the forum, where old enmities were forgotten and new ties amended, all due to theatrics of one single person, i.e. the US President Donald Trump.
Though the focus of the SCO Summit was bilateral and multilateral issues, yet the most important output was the meetings between the Indian ... |
