Abstract
This paper analyzes India's foreign policy toward Afghanistan in the post-9/11 era. India, relying on assistance-driven measures rather than military engagement, aimed to create strategic space. The paper questions the extent of India's success, particularly after the Taliban's 2021 return to power, and examines whether India's soft power approach sufficiently capitalized on opportunities after the 2001 Taliban overthrow.
