NEW DELHI: However much the Taliban regime attempts to make itself acceptable to the whole world, not a single country has as yet recognized it.

The Chinese have huge commercial plans in Afghanistan. Afghanistan’s mineral resources are their prime focus. They are also concerned about the utilization of Afghan soil by the Uighur separatists. The condition of Afghan women is deplorable. They are being denied education and opportunities to work. There are hardly any indicators of a better life for them in the near future. I
