There was widespread jubilation in Pakistan when neighbouring Afghanistan fell to the Taliban, in August 2021. Many, including the then Prime Minister, Imran Khan, expected that it would herald a new era of Pakistani influence over the new regime, which the important military and security establishment in Islamabad had nurtured for many decades. However, such hopes have remained unrealised.
In recent months there’s been a growing wave of attacks in Pakistan by Tehrik-e Taliban - otherwise known as the TTP or the Pakistani Taliban. However, while Islamabad may have hoped that the Taliban regime in neighbouring Afghanistan would help to control its Pakistani partners, it has seemingly done little to control them. Meanwhile, having reasserted control in Kabul, tensions appear to be emerging between the Taliban and Pakistan in other ways. For example, there have been renewed questions over the border between the two countries, the Durand Line, which was drawn up by British colonial authorities in Imperial India. This divided the Pashtun people, who make up most of the Taliban, and has been a lingering source of resentment. This all suggests that relations may now become increasingly difficult between Pakistan and its former partners.

The growing tensions between Pakistan and the Taliban is fascinating in so many ways. Having nurtured the group, Islamabad no doubt hoped it would be able to control it once they retook control in Afghanistan. But it doesn't seem to be working out as planned. However, it's the historical dimensions of the issue that makes it particularly interesting. So, do you think there is a serious conflict in the making? And will we see the Taliban in Afghanistan make a serious claim on the border? Thoughts and comments below. Also, please do take a look at World Politics Review. Their support really helps the channel develop. Many thanks. www.wpr.pub/jkl

Afghanistan is in Central Asia, not South Asia! The British Empire tried to promote Afghanistan as a part of South Asia to incorporate it into the British Raj back in the colonial days! Afghanistan is a part of the Iranian Plateau which is in Central and West Asia. Also, the Pashto language is not just related to Iranian, it is Iranian! Farsi is the most dominant Iranian language, but not the only Iranian language. Other languages that are Iranian include Kurdish, Balochi, etcetera. Also, Pashtuns are culturally and ethnically Iranian - along with the rest of Afghanistan's population.

@@selwyncaspar8067 Typical Western colonial "divide and conquer" narrative. Being Iranian pertains to language, culture, history and ethnicity, not religion.

They speak an Iranian language, have an Iranian culture and have historically always been a part of Iranian history. The exact same can be said of Pashtuns and Baloch.

Today they are getting their 'just desserts' for all this that they did! In addition when they keep on secretly nurturing & financing disparate terrorist groups, it is no surprise that PAK has now lost control over most of them that even former P.M.

It was very exhausting for India maintaining relations with Pakistan . One side we had to go for peace talks when Pakistan was sending and still sending highly trained terrorists into India(Pakistan military trains these terrorists) and our soldiers dying while defending our country. Once we stopped talking we are much better now. But trade was still going between our countries. But Pakistan stopped the trade completely so its their fault. They bought medicines, agri produce, tyres etc from India. They will let their people suffer just for their religion and Kashmir which they can never win from India. Their military officers and politicians are billionaires in UK and US with dual citizenships. Their population is highly radicalized and illiterate. Those who are educated and sensible leave the country to settle outside. Their economy was so much ahead of India upto 2000s but now their breakaway part Bangladesh is even doing better than Srilanka. So who is to blame for this mess.

And most interesting thing is here is that Pakistani pashtuns have the most anti-taliban sentiment as they suffered from taliban attacks a lot than many other provinces and also faced discrimination from other ethnicities as during the early terrorism wave in Pakistan (2008-2014)pakistan taliban(TTP)was made up of majority radicalized pakistani pashtuns and afghan taliban.

This topic is quite personally important to me too because when I was a university student, I organised a forum about the Taliban in Afghanistan with a local expert, Dr. Ahmad El-Muhammady (expert in counterterrorism from the International Islamic University of Malaysia). In the forum, there was a lot of optimism that the Taliban may bring Afghanistan to a new positive era given the Taliban’s commitment at the time. Eventually, we can already see a lot of changes which were not expected but strained relationships between the Afghan Taliban and Pakistan is something I least expected!

Pakistan has dispute with all its neighbouring countries including China... No other country has as many enemies as Pakistan. Main reason for this is Pakistans habbit of interfering with neighbours issues instead of concentrating on their economy or infrastructure. Pakistani army created Taliban and entire country celebrated Taliban Victory over Afghanistan but at the same time they provide Air base to America to attack Afganistan. ( You cant have it both ways) Redical islam is openly supported in Pakistan 🇵🇰 Osama Bin Laden is considered as Hero and freedom fighter in this country. Pakistan is the epicentre of Terrorism. you cannot expect snakes in your backyard to only bite neighbours

Thank you for the video professor. It seems like borders in maps are increasingly losing any relevance in the area. Indeed, it seems like Pakistan is in quite a pickle right now. Inner political tensions are high, economy is in ruins and now Taliban backed insurgencies.I fear that Pakistan might be plunged into total chaos because of the inner political and economical crisis. In the case, if nation building is your trade, I guess this is where to look for new ones. Because of that, I have serious concerns that Pakistan is militarily unable to stop Afghanistan right now from taking control over the Pashtune areas of Pakistan and in time, de facto annexing the east of Pakistan.
