New Delhi: India has for the first time opened channels of communication with Afghan Taliban factions and leaders, including Mullah Baradar, against the backdrop of the rapid drawdown of US forces from Afghanistan, people with knowledge of the development have said.

 

The move marks a significant shift from New Delhi’s position of not engaging with the Afghan Taliban in any way and comes at a time when key world powers are veering around to the position that the Taliban will play some part in any future dispensation in Kabul.

Everyone will basically have to. The Afghan government won't last long if/when the US leaves. All that Indian money pumped into there over these ~2 decades would go for a toss otherwise. "James Bond" needs to figure out how to recoup the losses.
