Mullen, Rani D., 'India–Afghanistan Relations', in Sumit Ganguly (ed.), Engaging the World: Indian Foreign Policy since 1947 (Delhi , 2016; online edn, Oxford Academic, 21 Apr. 2016), https://doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199458325.003.0005, accessed 5 May 2025.
Abstract
The author analyses India’s resurgent relationship with Afghanistan since 9/11 by examining the history, as well as structural, domestic, and individual-level factors in the bilateral relationship. Indo-Afghan ties over the past decade have been the closest they have been since India’s 1947 independence. India’s geo-strategic and security interests in Afghanistan, the search for access to new sources of energy and minerals, in addition to the potential market in Afghanistan for Indian goods and services, will continue to drive Indian impetus for deeper engagement with Afghanistan in the 21st Century.
