This article explores how the soft power of Türkiye and India has been playing significant roles in their relationship with Afghanistan in the post-9/11 incident. After the US-led invasion of the Taliban in 2001, Türkiye, which has no land border with Afghanistan, engaged as a NATO stakeholder for postwar peacebuilding in the country. Türkiye also pursued non-military engagement through humanitarian and cultural institutions and achieved the confidence of the Afghan people. On the other hand, a diverse-natured regime at the doorstep , as well as the bitter relationship with Pakistan, triggered India to approach Afghanistan closely. India utilised its 'Neighbourhood First' policy through sheer civilian participation in delivering humanitarian aid and collaborating in educational and cultural fields, significantly strengthening its relationship with Afghanistan. However, the Taliban's takeover of power has narrowed India's engagement while Türkiye's engagement has increased, though non-militarily, having significant impacts on both countries' relationships with Afghanistan. This study, firstly, conceptualises the term 'soft power.' Secondly, it explains Türkiye's historical relations with Afghanistan and the role of soft power after 9/11 to consolidate the relations. Thirdly, it explains India's historical relations with Afghanistan and the role of soft power in expanding the relations after 9/11. Then, the article compares the roles of soft power by state and non-state actors of Türkiye with those of India in developing their relations with Afghanistan and the challenges and prospects that Türkiye and India may face in the future.
