Embracing the Taliban
In what represents a radical departure from the Kremlin’s past trajectory of branding the Afghan Taliban as a ‘radical’ and ‘terrorist’ group, it has sought to actively engage it well before its formal ascent to power in August 2021. This article will examine the evolving trajectory of the relationship between Moscow and the Afghan Taliban. It will critically engage with both the key factors that have traditionally shaped the Kremlin’s views on t…

Discerning Taliban 2.0 and Afghanistan’s Political Landscape

Beijing's approach has gradually shifted from dis-interest to a careful re-calibration of strategy indicating Afghanistan's growing eminence in its strategic calculus.

This article analyses the trajectory that Sino-Afghan relations have acquired since 2001. In doing so it undertakes an analysis of China’s key interests in the commercial, security and political arena in Afghanistan and the policies adopted by Beijing to secure these interests. The analysis particularly takes into account four factors which have left a crucial imprint in moulding the contours of Beijing’s engagement with Kabul, namely, the Indo-P…
Usury in Early Mediaeval India (A.D. 400–1200)
I. Attitudes towards Usury In many ancient societies the very idea of taking interest was considered to be reprehensible and immoral. The term usury, which comes to be applied to lending at rates above the legal rates, has a tinge of something socially and religiously undesirable about it. In early and mediaeval Indian society it is not always possible to draw a precise line between usury and interest, and hence the subject can be best studied by…
