RASC: Following the domination of the Taliban group over the country and the tense educational situation for students, especially the female class, a number of Afghanistani students have written a letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of India asking the country to grant them visas for the start of the new academic year.
The domination of the Taliban group over Afghanistan caused hundreds of Afghanistani students to be in trouble due to the problem of extending their visas and Indian scholarships.
According to the Indian Express report, the Indian authorities have suspended the issuance of visas to Afghanistani students for diplomatic reasons and have prevented many of them from attending their final exams.
Afghanistani students have now expressed their concerns about the current situation by sending a letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of India and other relevant authorities.
Earlier also, these students have started peaceful protests from time to time during the last two years for the attention of the Indian government.
According to the available statistics, more than 600 Afghanistani students, including about 200 girls, are waiting to apply for scholarships in various universities and colleges in India.
In India, most Afghanistani students rely on the scholarship of the India Council for Cultural Relations.
These students have received financial aid over the years to complete their graduate courses and after graduation.
But now, due to instability and political turmoil in Afghanistan, these students are under financial pressure and are once again relying on humanitarian aid.
After the Taliban group came to power in Afghanistan, a number of countries closed their embassies in Kabul, and therefore there were challenges in the process of issuing visas to the country’s citizens.
