Taliban & India’s Own Great Game | Midweek Matters | Parakala Prabhakar (26)

Parakala dwells on what the recent developments in Afghanistan signal about the west's preparedness to fight for the values of liberal democracy world wide, and their potential to alter the terms of the global discourse on democracy, autocracy, identity, and political legitimacy. And how these events in India's neighbourhood are likely to further precipitate the contest between the sharply contrasting ideas of India that are locked in a mortal combat with each other now. Parakala deals with these issues and leaves us with a question and some thoughts to reflect upon.
