ABSTRACT

India's global vision of a democratic, multicultural and multipolar world has somewhat become closer to the European understanding of global economy and polity. In the last few decades, many attempts have been made to undertake a sociopolitical transformation in Afghanistan. The current international project which has been mandated by the United Nations (UN) has been supported by almost every country in the world. The Bonn Agreement charted a roadmap for the political transformation of the county into a democratic state. According to the Afghan government, between 2002 and 2011, the European Union and its Member States committed around $12 billion for Afghan reconstruction. In the post-2014 phase, Afghanistan is going to face three major challenges: security, political and economic. In all three areas, enhanced Indian engagement in Afghanistan could help the country meet these difficult challenges during its decade of transformation.
