India and the World

The Taliban's rapid rise to power has raised questions about what governance under its control would look like.

On September 3 we hosted an India and the World webinar with Joshua T. White and Dawood Azami, that aimed to understand the leadership and structure of the Taliban. The discussion, moderated by Rudra Chaudhuri, also unpacked what this power shift implies for Afghanistan and other nations, such as the U.S. and Pakistan.
