Mains Strategy

Structure answers using the 'Evolution-Components-Strategy-Challenges-Future' framework. Begin with historical context showing continuity and change in India's approach. Use specific project examples to demonstrate concrete achievements rather than making generic statements.

Analyze strategic dimensions: regional connectivity through Chabahar Port, counter-Pakistan influence, Central Asian access, soft power projection. Address current challenges: Taliban's return, security constraints, regional competition, coordination issues.

Include comparative analysis with other countries' approaches (China's BRI, Pakistan's strategic depth policy). Draw connections to broader themes: neighborhood policy, development diplomacy, regional stability.

Use recent developments to show contemporary relevance. Conclude with balanced assessment acknowledging both achievements and limitations. Include diagrams showing connectivity routes or aid distribution mechanisms where relevant.

Keywords to include: 'Afghan-led and Afghan-owned', 'development diplomacy', 'regional connectivity', 'capacity building', 'humanitarian assistance', 'strategic partnership'.
