Amir khan muttaqi india visit: Nearly 4 years after the Taliban occupation of Afghanistan, a new chapter of formal dialogue between India and Taliban is going to start. Taliban Foreign Minister Aamir Khan Mutki is coming to visit India for the first time on 9 October. This seizure is not only symbolic, but also gives a big signal of a major change in the Jio-Political Photo of South Asia.
Taliban and Indian authorities have so far held meetings mainly in Dubai and Kabul. But this will be the first time that the Taliban’s top leadership will come directly to India. Through this step, it is clearly a message that Afghanistan is now coming out of Pakistan’s shadow and getting closer to India.
After the Taliban captured Afghanistan on August 15, August 15, India had completely closed its embassy in Kabul and all the officials returned to Delhi. At that time it was believed that the door of India for Afghanistan has now closed forever. But now after about 4 years, the Taliban’s top leadership is moving towards India. The United Nations Security Council has also approved Mottaki’s visit to Delhi, and his visit is expected to be completed before 16 October.
India and Taliban change a big change in relations
Earlier this year, Indian Foreign Minister S.K. Jaishankar interacted with the Taliban Foreign Minister on the phone. In addition, in June 2025, India handed over the control of the Afghan Consulate in Hyderabad to Mohammad Rahman appointed by the Taliban. This step is also a major sign of increasing contact between India and Taliban.
India has assisted in every situation in Afghanistan. India had sent immediate relief material during the recent earthquake. Apart from this, the historical relations between Afghan and Indian citizens and the active share in India’s Afghan development projects are also attracting the Taliban towards India. India has so far worked to provide assistance to about 50,000 tonnes of wheat, 330 tons of medicines and other food and shelter materials to the Afghan public.
Taliban betrayal from Pakistan
According to Geo-Political Analyst Omar Wajiri, there are many reasons for the reduction in Taliban and Pakistan’s relationship. For decades, Pakistan used the Taliban as its proxy and assisted them with shelter, weapons and financially. But with this, Pakistan tried to consider Afghanistan as its fifth state. Pakistan wanted the Taliban’s foreign policy to be completely as per the instructions of Islamabad, which was turned down by the Taliban.
In the month of December 2024, Pakistan killed dozens of Afghans in Afghanistan and forced millions of Afghans living in Pakistan. The Taliban took it as a betrayal of this attitude of Pakistan. In addition, the dispute over the border Durand line of Pakistan and Afghanistan increased the tussle between the two countries. The Taliban also removed the fence on the Durand line.
India’s reliability and help
The Taliban Foreign Minister’s visit to India is a big sign that the Taliban is now believing in India. India has contributed to Afghan development works for the last several decades. India played a big role in building Afghan Parliament House, roads, schools and dams in the 2000s. Also, through Chabahar Port, India provided independent sea route to Afghanistan from Pakistan’s port connection.
The Taliban has often described India as its ally and Taliban is now getting free from Pakistan’s hold due to India’s long -term assistance, business options and respectable dialogues. India has not given formal recognition to the Taliban, but has maintained balance through dialogue and cooperation.
Geo-politics signal
According to reports, Mottaki’s visit to India is seen as a major warning for Pakistan and at the same time it is a symbol of major changes in South Asian Geology. Pakistan’s policies, air strikes, refugees out of refugees and border disputes lost the Taliban’s trust. At the same time, India’s long -term assistance and respectable attitude is pulling the Taliban towards India.
The Taliban’s visit to India also shows that Afghanistan is now exiting Pakistan’s policy and advancing its independent foreign policy. The growing close proximity between India and the Taliban may have a major impact on South Asian security and development.
