India in Central Asia – A Window of Opportunity
India needs stronger foothold in the region, assuming that Taliban takes over Afghanistan.
All the other key players such as Russia, US, China etc have had their interests in enhancing their relations with the CARs
Central Asia is rich in terms of resources while Kazakhstan is one of India’s primary source for Uranium.
CARs view India favourably as against wariness for China due to growing realization that promises of prosperity attached with the BRI are not forthcoming.
Smaller or weaker nations which cannot push back on their own then turn to other countries like India to balance it out, as is happening in Central Asia.
