The Geo-Interview is our Youtube series wherein we host eminent personalities in their respective fields, like former Foreign Secretaries to the Government of India, former Ambassadors, Scholars and Academicians. The Interview started with Mr. Stanly briefly outlining the modern political history of Afghanistan, the constant regime change being the prime characteristic. He also highlighted, that contrary to prevalent beliefs, not all is well between the Pakistani establishment and the new regime of Taliban that they helped in propping up, as the latter remains focused upon uniting the larger Pashtun hinterlands, defying the colonial Durand line. Following this, Mr. Stanly outlined the India’s contribution to the people of Taliban, no matter the regime at the helm. From building strategic Infrastructure in the country to providing humanitarian aid post Taliban’s takeover. Despite Pakistan and China’s axis, Indian delegation has been able to establish a significant and mutually beneficial line of communication with the Taliban 2.0 At the end Mr. Stanly shared his experience, having worked in the field for so many years and outlined some of his important lessons for the budding youth interested in the domains of International Affairs and Foreign Policy.
