This policy brief examines the future of Afghanistan post 2014 and suggests policy alternatives for India. India, with its last decade of constructive engagement in Afghanistan, has much at stake. The author argues that the prospect of an Afghanistan ruled by a regressive regime that is amenable to Pakistan's strategy of expanding its strategic depth and denying any space to India, poses a challenge to India's continued efforts to bring development and prosperity to the Afghan people.
