Islamabad: India\u2019s outreach to the Taliban following its humiliating military failure in Operation Sindoor has triggered widespread outrage within India\u2019s media, civil society, and diplomatic circles, exposing the Modi regime\u2019s deepening crisis after its failed adventure against Pakistan.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, the turning point came when India hosted the Taliban\u2019s foreign minister in New Delhi \u2014 a move seen as a desperate bid to recover lost regional ground after suffering military and diplomatic setbacks.<\/p>\n
Indian journalist Meenu Jain strongly criticized the shift, asking: \u201cWe were not so weak when we got freedom. If we now need Afghanistan and the Taliban to fight Pakistan, what world leadership do we claim? This is the result of the defeat in Operation Sindhur. They have gone so far that they do not understand whether to go to China or to the Taliban.\u201d<\/p>\n
She lambasted the hypocrisy of the BJP-led regime, which once denounced the Taliban\u2019s treatment of women but is now courting the same group for political survival. Jain warned that Modi\u2019s embrace of the Taliban reflects the RSS mindset of the Manusmriti, which confines women to subservience, and endangers Indian women socially and politically.<\/p>\n
The Taliban minister\u2019s visit quickly provoked anger across India after female journalists were barred from covering their first press conference in New Delhi. Media associations condemned the event as an affront to women\u2019s dignity, while opposition leaders accused Prime Minister Modi of \u201csurrendering India\u2019s national pride before the Taliban out of fear of Pakistan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even tensions arose at the Afghan embassy in New Delhi, where Taliban envoys reportedly attempted to replace the Afghan national flag with their own \u2014 a move resisted by embassy staff loyal to the former Ashraf Ghani government. The incident reinforced India\u2019s image as a platform for foreign power struggles.<\/p>\n
Indian defence experts, meanwhile, have denounced Operation Sindoor as a politically motivated disaster. Sushant Singh, a Yale lecturer and defence analyst, told Indian web portal, The Wire, that the mission was \u201ctactically precise but strategically misguided,\u201d costing India several aircraft merely to strike insignificant targets. Similarly, military commentator Pravin Sawhney described the operation as \u201cmilitarily meaningless,\u201d adding that it only exposed India\u2019s weaknesses.<\/p>\n
International observers, too, have highlighted the desperation behind New Delhi\u2019s pivot to the Taliban. On France 24, Dr Subir Sinha termed India\u2019s Taliban outreach \u201ca move to circle Pakistan\u201d and listed motives ranging from countering China and exploiting Afghan minerals to manipulating Muslim votes in Bihar. He also linked India\u2019s covert cooperation with the Taliban to its continued support for proxy groups like the TTP and BLA.<\/p>\n
Critics argue that the Modi regime\u2019s engagement with the Taliban \u2014 a group condemned by the UN for \u201cgender apartheid\u201d \u2014 reflects moral collapse and political panic. In contrast, Pakistan\u2019s restraint and diplomatic maturity, symbolised by Army Chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir\u2019s recent meetings with the U.S. President and other global leaders, have earned Islamabad growing international respect.<\/p>\n
Analysts conclude that New Delhi\u2019s frantic turn to the Taliban marks India\u2019s transformation from a self-proclaimed Vishwaguru to an isolated power haunted by its own failures \u2014 turning Operation Sindoor into Operation Surrender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
