Abstract

In April 2021, President Joe Biden has announced that the remaining US troops will be withdrawn from Afghanistan by September 11th, 2021. Delaying the May 1st deadline given by the Trump administration. This will create a security vacuum in the region. Experts fear that this decision might result in the breakout of another Civil War. This was the longest-running conflict in US history, the war has cost the US around $2 trillion and 2400 American troops lost their lives. India’s involvement there could be jeopardized. India needs to update its priorities to prepare for this change.
