Taliban Takeover Decoded: What Role Did Pakistan’s ISI Play? How Much Control Will It Have Now?

[@anoopshukla9375]

I think war is not over yet. Only thing that changed is scenario. It's true that western power has left as well as lost the war but Islamic state & Amarulla Saleh have filled the place which western power left. The biggest question is How will Taliban run the government in Afghanistan. Because neither Talban have experience nor they have money. Second question is who will provide them money?? Because Pakistan don't have capacity to assist Taliban financially. China has no interest in benevolence/welfare activities, they only recognise buisness & profit. So it will be difficult for China to deal with Taliban. Third question is, Does Taliban have any credibility in international community?? Because even if world Community decide to recognise Taliban government yet it will be difficult to co-operate with them, because taliban are not civilized, and they will never abandon militant idiology. So it is clear that western power are the looser but Taliban is not the winner. Picture is not clear in Afghanistan. I guess it will take time to clear the scenario in Afghanistan. kistan

[@ziaullahkhan3228]

​@@anoopshukla9375 India is the biggest looser not western world. You are simply beating around the bush to cover up Indian humiliating defeat at the hands of Taliban. Grapes seem to be sour. Ironically your vision of Afghanistan is still blurry. Indian presence in Afghanistan was not for humanitarian work but to create another permanent hot front for Pakistan. You lost billions mate. Pakistan has assured UN uninterrupted supply of food and essential items to Afghanistan. At present many of our industrial units produce exclusively for Afghanistan. For example, A good number of flour mills operate for Afghan market. If we cannot give them cash we can provide them goods and services on deferred payment basis. Other neighbors will also provide financial assistance after recognition. Western world will have no option but to recognize Taliban Government. All Afghan neighbors ( India is not a neighbor) China, Russia, Iran, Pakistan and Central Asian countries are going to recognize and Afghanistan will become a darling of the region. Afghanistan is a gateway to Central Asia. China has planned investment of 60 billion dollars. Russians have also committed to develop Afghanistan. A new era of peace and development is emerging. Don't underestimate Afghans. They know how to run the country and eliminate crimes from the society. Neighbors will provide expertise if needed. They will run the state better than many of the 195 sovereign states. You should not have any qualms for Afghanistan. You are pinning your hopes on Amar Ullah Saleh. Actually, son of Ahmed Shah Masood matters and he is negotiating with Taliban for bigger role in power sharing. Saleh will be finally eliminated. All neighbors are playing their role to bring peace between different factions. Anoop Shukla it is time for Indians, Americans and NATO to lick their wounds. Your game is up.

Taliban won't be in your control - US won't be easy on you, as they won't need your airspace and bases for Afg any more. And the aid money will end too.

The interviewer came with a script and wanted it endorsed by the honorable guest in a hurried manner, kind of disrespectful. Well we can have some conclusions. Firstly, the Taliban were not created by ISI. Secondly ISI played alongside Taliban while RAW sided with the Northern alliance which certainly was openly helped by the CIA. Thirdly both the CIA and RAW had 20 years to achieve their goals and had enough resources and technology. The sudden collapse of the Afghan government is a clear failure of CIA and Pentagon. Soon the American people will raise this question. We may see some corruption stories in the US. Fourthly the Afghan rulers were never sincere and honest to the nation. The foot soldiers refused to fight for a corrupt regime. Lastly, the NATO members would never trust the US again. Except for the UK maybe.

An interesting and impressive interview. In spite of his pro India and anti ISI inclinations, Mr. Bannerjee appeared analytical, Knowledgeable and well informed. His facts were not always right though. University Town Peshawar was not created in order to populate Taliban leaders. Long before the creation of Taliban or even Mujahideen, it was a well populated high brow suburb of Peshawar as early as 1960s. As its name suggests, it owes its creation the emergence of Peshawar University. Mr. Bannerjee also left out any mention of RAW and other intelligence/secret service agencies (in league with one another) highly active in Afghanistan, which apart from numerous operations inside Afghanistan, created several terror outfits and launched them into Pakistan. These carried out enormous damage in terms of human life, infra structure, social system and economic development in Pakistan. Mr. Thapar also saw it fit not to bring this matter up. All said and done, it was an high quality interview.

Very knowledgeable but I have failed to understand whether it was an interview or interrogation of the guest.

[@anil-nv2ck]

You are right. Thapar thinks he is most knowledgeable! Still live in Congress patronage. He is a joke but got favours from Congress is waning and he is not a worth. People like him should disappear and enjoy retirement and their luxury lifestyle. Indians have moved on.

They won't talk about the dirty role of India played in Afghanistan for last 20 years. Afghanistan was used against Pakistan

[@safarandtravel1999]

@@kamlipaul8498 The best person to ask about is former ISI major retired Amir. He was the contact person of ISI with taliban & other groups in Afghanistan. Just a few weeks ago he gave an interview to a Pakistani journalist, which he uploaded on his youtube channel. That was the most detailed insight & now this former RAW chief is telling the same thing with some lesser extent which he didn't knew just a few weeks ago. 😂😂😂

Each and every leader of every group even the ppl in the govt are always well connected to Pakistan even if they are speaking against the Govt of Pakistan because of some policies. Hamid Karzai also lived in Pakistan. Even today his relatives are here in Pakistan. Same is the story for other Afghan leaders. We have a very deep connection, just like brothers who sometimes even fight agressively but at the end of the day sit togather and sort out everything.

[@shaunbird8051]

It is a real privilege to hear the nice and rare interview between Mr.Banerji and Mr.Thapar. Both have delved into the history of this alliance deeply. which is very incisive and sensitive. I am sure the Americans would not be unaware of all their history. Yet it surprises us how the Americans were stoical all this time or they must

Karan Thapar is interviewing himself, answering to his own questions. LOL what an interview with minimum input from interviewee.

[@surendrabarsode8959]

This is one of the better interviews of Karan. Of course, when he is not discussing Modi, Karan is quite fine and bearable. Thanks to Mr. Banerjee, we have an excellent overview of the situation on the ground. Thankfully, Karan allowed him to speak freely! The conclusion is of course that we have to wait and see what happens there!!

[@aboveall4103]

To be honest the guest answered too appropriately. Unfortunately for Karan, he answered all of his wished anticipations in "may be". Clearly, India had a very big set back in Afghanistan. Throughout this discussion, Karan never asked a question about what RAW has been doing in Afghanistan for 20 years? All of that is because it was irrelevant? Oh man, even 20 years were not enough for you to influence Taliban and other factions.

[@clashclan5366]

*They have headaches, I like it* 😂 😂 😂

[@kango13766]

They failed to mention (?due to interruption by the anchor) that before Taliban came/were brought to power, A DECADE LONG gorilla war had been going on between Afghan war lords, or the jihadis who had fought and defeated Russian invasion! Taliban DIDN'T START WAR, BUT HAD STOPPED IT.

[@FreudSG]

I thought I'll learn a thing or two but this interview like shooting darts in the dark. For starters Bannerji is treating the Pashtun tribal hierarchy like the Hindu caste system, which is simply laughable. Secondly , Afghan Taliban are portrayed as having no brains if their own. There is no nuance here, as in how Pakistani Pashtuns in the Army and ISI have an incomparable understanding of the ground situation and reality. Either R&AW sitting 1000s of miles away iss taking random guesses and connecting invisible dots, or this interview is a deliberate attempt to portray ignorance and mislead those watching that RAW knows nothing about what goes between ISI and the Taliban. The cluelessness is comfortabing to watch but should be treated as a deliberate ploy.
