Even while the Taliban\u2019s victory gave some geopolitical advantage to Pakistan, it also enhanced Islamabad\u2019s security challenges. And Pakistan\u2019s growing frustration with the response of the new Afghan rulers to these challenges burst into the open during the weekend when Pakistani missiles struck inside Afghanistan, targeting the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). During the American presence in Afghanistan, Pakistan had adopted a dual approach \u2014 fight the TTP, better known as the Pakistan Taliban, and support the Afghan Taliban. Its backing was <strong>crucial (of extreme importance) <\/strong>in the Afghan Taliban\u2019s return to Kabul. But the fact that an <strong>insurgency (An organized rebellion aimed at overthrowing a constituted government through the use of subversion and armed conflict) <\/strong>founded by a group of Deobandi madrasa students forced the U.S., the world\u2019s most powerful military, to withdraw from Afghanistan was a morale booster for the TTP. The Afghan Taliban and the TTP may be two organisations, but they are ideological brothers \u2014 both have their roots in Deobandi Islam, both share the same worldview, and have similar objectives for different geographies. If the Afghan Taliban wanted to re-establish their Islamic Emirate in Afghanistan, the TTP wants to <strong>bring down (Cause the downfall of)<\/strong> the Pakistani state and establish its Islamic rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pakistan supported the Afghan Taliban for geopolitical reasons. The Generals saw the Taliban as insurance against growing Indian influence in a U.S.-backed Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. But the problem with the wheel of jihad, which the Pakistanis helped <strong>unleash (Turn loose or free from restraint) <\/strong>inside Afghanistan, is that it could also <strong>roll back (The act of forcing the enemy to withdraw)<\/strong> across the border. Both countries share a <strong>porous (Allowing passage in and out) <\/strong>2,500-km land border that divides the tribal areas of the region (also a fertile ground for the Taliban\u2019s ideology). Earlier, Pakistan used to share intelligence with the U.S. forces in Afghanistan which carried out attacks against the TTP. Now, Pakistan has to depend on the Taliban to crack down on the TTP. Their relationship has also changed. If the Taliban were dependent on Pakistan for their survival during the insurgency, they are now the rulers of Afghanistan; what they need is support and recognition for their regime. This change in approach was visible in the Taliban\u2019s warning that they would <strong>\u201cretaliate\u201d (Take revenge for a perceived wrong)<\/strong> if Pakistan carries out more cross-border strikes. None of these developments suggests that there would be a complete <strong>breakdown (Cause to fall or collapse) <\/strong>in the relationship between Pakistan and the Taliban, which dates back to the Taliban\u2019s founding in the early 1990s. But the TTP factor would remain a key fault-line. The Taliban are not ready to <strong>disown (to say that you no longer want to be connected with or responsible for somebody\/something) <\/strong>the TTP and they have also made it clear that they would not remain a Pakistani<strong> proxy (A person authorized to act for another) <\/strong>forever. This poses fresh security and geopolitical challenges to the Pakistani establishment which welcomed the Taliban\u2019s triumph in Afghanistan just eight months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to learn new words on a daily basis?
