India has expressed its support for the recent decision by the Taliban regime in Afghanistan to restore property rights to Afghan Hindu and Sikh minorities. Randhir Jaiswal, spokesperson for the External Affairs Ministry, described the move as positive, noting reports of the Taliban administration's efforts to return seized private land to its rightful owners.

The Taliban has established a commission aimed at facilitating the restoration of land that was seized by warlords during the previous government in Kabul. This development comes after a meeting between India's representative on Afghanistan, J.P. Singh, and senior Taliban officials.

Although India has not officially recognized the Taliban regime, it has consistently advocated for an inclusive government in Kabul. Furthermore, India maintains that Afghan territory should not be utilized for terrorist activities against other nations. India has also been actively involved in providing humanitarian aid to address the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan.

Following the Taliban's takeover in August 2021, India withdrew its embassy officials due to security concerns. However, in June 2022, India re-established a limited diplomatic presence in Kabul with a "technical team."

India's support for the restoration of property rights for Afghan Hindu and Sikh minorities reflects its commitment to promoting stability and inclusivity in Afghanistan, despite not formally recognizing the Taliban regime.
