The chapter on Afghanistan entitled “India’s Soft Energy Diplomacy in Afghanistan: Need for a Policy Rethink?” through Shanthie Mariet D’Souza is actually informative. It is a different concern that India has certainly not recognised the Taliban regimen in Afghanistan, which reclaimed management in 2021.
