Ever since the Taliban gained international attention, numerous articles have appeared on their origin, intentions, and capabilities. Many observers have expressed their opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of the Taliban, but no comprehensive study has yet been carried out on this new phenomenon which suddenly appeared on the Afghan horizon. This book gives a comprehensive account of the origin of the Taliban movement and the reasons for its phenomenal success. The impact of the ethnic divide on Afghanistan’s future and the repercussions of the Taliban’s extreme religious views on Pakistan and other neighbouring countries, has been examined in depth. Pakistan’s Afghan policy, after the emergence of the student militia, has been critically analysed to see if its has served country’s long-term interests. The author has tapped primary sources which give a great deal of originality and authenticity to the book.
