India should reopen its embassy in Kabul, and reengage with Afghanistan and its “de facto government”, says former President Hamid Karzai, one of the few Afghan leaders who chose to stay back despite the Taliban takeover of the country. Mr. Karzai tells The Hindu that Ukraine must learn from Afghanistan’s lessons, and not allow big powers to play a proxy war in its country.
