As the terrorist outfit Taliban takes control of Afghanistan, the left-liberal cabal in Bharat is now making a case for the Taliban in an attempt to create a narrative showing them in a positive light or as “reformed” people. As is their wont, the cabal wants us to believe that the Taliban is not what it was two decades ago.
Among the usual suspects is Sudheendra Kulkarni, a neo-liberal who was with the BJP earlier, who was all praises for former diplomat MK Bhadrakumar’s article glorifying the terrorist outfit.
Here are some from Bhadrakumar’s opinion piece on Taliban 2.0:
The regime change is still playing out sedately and it may take days or even weeks before its final contours emerge in the form of a transitional government. There are signs that the victor is amenable to persuasion to accept a consensual outcome…
…There have been no Taliban visits to Saudi Arabia for years now. The Taliban is asserting its traditional Islam and Shariah…
…The paranoia in certain circles in India about the “spillover” from Afghanistan is unwarranted. The Taliban has an exclusively Afghan-centric agenda. They are old-fashioned “nationalists”. It is simply inconceivable that once ensconced in power, the Taliban will play a subaltern role to any regional state. On the contrary, the Taliban’s “Afghan-ness” will inevitably surge as a robust sense of independence and “strategic autonomy” in statecraft. They will be interested in friendly relations with India.
