Shanthie D'Souza, senior research fellow in public policy, published a new article in The Diplomat discussing the strategic thinking behind the Indian government's humanitarian outreach to the Taliban in Afghanistan. In the piece, D'Souza describes how the provision of humanitarian aid to Afghanistan has been a tool for both resisting and courting the Taliban, and that whether or not the strategic goals of the current round of aid will be met is up in the air.
Additionally, D'Souza was also interviewed by FRANCE 24 News English and quoted in South China Morning Post on the Iran-Israel conflict and the reaction of Asian countries to ongoing events.
