Oct. 1, 2025, 5:33 AM EDTBy Jay GanglaniThe Taliban has denied imposing a nationwide internet ban, claiming instead that the blackout consuming Afghanistan was due to old fiber optic cables that were now being replaced. Wednesday’s announcement was the Taliban’s first public statement since a communications blackout hit the country of over 40 million people, disrupting everything from banking to travel and businesses to aid work. The Taliban’s Urdu language website Al-Emarah quoted spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid as saying that some people were spreading rumors about a ban on internet access in the country, which he said were not true.However, one senior Taliban leader in Kabul told NBC News: “We don’t understand what’s happening in the country. Nobody is telling us as majority of the people don’t have access to each other.” It comes after several provinces said last month they would shut down the internet after a government order to crackdown on immorality, fueling fears about new limits on access to the outside world.Internet watchdog NetBlocks said Monday that a near nationwide telecoms disruption was in effect. Less than two hours later, it announced that Afghanistan was “now in the midst of a total internet blackout.” A view of Kabul, on Monday night, following the nationwide telecoms outage.Wakil Kohsar / AFP via Getty ImagesThe United Nations urged Taliban authorities “to immediately and fully restore nationwide Internet and telecommunications access,” in a statement Tuesday.The shutdown has left millions of people from Afghanistan who now live outside the country distressed, with many unable to contact their loved ones. Flights out of the country have also been canceled, adding to the sense of chaos and isolation.Indiana resident Sofia Ramyar, 33, is one of them.Ramyar says that she hasn’t been able to contact her family, some of whom live in the capital Kabul. “The blackout has created a deep sense of isolation and has further silenced those already struggling to be heard,” Ramyar told NBC News. “This blackout has fully cut off the country from the digital world in a way we have never seen before.” Ramyar serves as an advisor to Afghans for Progressive Thinking (APT), a youth-led non-profit that focuses on advancing women’s rights and educational opportunities for girls. She added that the blackout has impacted her ability to serve those women, adding that her work “relies heavily” on online access and that the situation in Afghanistan continues to be “unpredictable.” “Their safety is always a concern,” she added. Naseer Kawoshger, 29, who left Afghanistan in 2020 and now works as a cashier at a grocery store in Chicago, said he has also been unable to speak with his family in Kabul. “When I sent a message to my sister, my brother, there was only one tick and I saw that the message wasn’t being sent,” Kawoshger said. “I don’t know what happened to my country, what happened to my family.”Aid officials have warned the blackout was hampering their operations in the country, which has been battered by a series of economic and humanitarian crises since the Taliban swept back to power in 2021 as the U.S. withdrew. The hardline Islamist regime has faced global criticism for its treatment of women, but has recently sought better ties with Washington.“Reliable communications are essential for our ability to operate, to deliver life-saving assistance, and to coordinate with partners,” Save the Children said in a statement Wednesday.Jay GanglaniJay Ganglani is NBC News’s 2025-26 Asia Desk Fellow.

Oct. 2, 2025, 5:00 AM EDTBy Mithil Aggarwal, Jay Ganglani and Peter GuoNEW DELHI — In India, some of the biggest jobs in tech come to you.Graduates of the Indian Institute of Technology (ITT), one of the country’s most prestigious universities, are recruited directly by Indian companies as well as American firms looking to lock down some of the world’s top talent in fields that will dominate the future, such as artificial intelligence and robotics.Many of them also continue their studies in the United States, where India overtook China last year as the biggest source of foreign students. But policy decisions and other moves by the Trump administration, including the recently announced $100,000 fee for the H-1B skilled immigrant work visa, now have those graduates thinking twice about going to America. “About 20 students are graduating from my department, and nearly 10 to 15 have a postdoctoral offer from the U.S.,” said Ajaykumar Udayraj Yadav, a materials science and engineering doctoral candidate working on energy storage systems, who is among the student volunteers at the Office of Career Services at IIT’s New Delhi campus.“But the way they’re seeing the situation develop in the U.S., these students are unwilling to take them up,” he said. Trump administration raises fee for H-1B visas to $100,00000:49While offers to work directly in the U.S. are few and far between, more common is relocation via the H-1B program after working in Indian offices for a few years. Out of the 400,000 H-1B visas approved in the 2024 financial year, 71% of the grantees were born in India, according to the Department of Homeland Security. China was a distant second at less than 12%. Among the top H-1B employers are tech giants such as Amazon, Meta and Google, as well as consulting firms such as Accenture and Deloitte, according to the DHS data. U.S. tech leaders who once held H-1B visas include Satya Nadella, the chairman and chief executive of Microsoft; Sundar Pichai, chief executive of Google and its parent company, Alphabet; and Elon Musk.It was a tried and tested formula that held up for decades, enabling what was the Indian dream.But on Sept. 19, a surprise proclamation from President Donald Trump increased the fee for new H-1B visa applications to $100,000, up from $2,000 to $5,000 per application. The increase, on top of a series of deportations and immigration arrests affecting Indians and other foreign nationals, has stung young science and tech talent in India and spurred other countries to try to scoop them up instead.“Our migration policy works a bit like a German car. It is reliable, it is modern, it is predictable,” Philipp Ackermann, the German ambassador to India, said in a video posted on X four days after Trump’s H-1B announcement. “We do not change our rules fundamentally overnight. Highly skilled Indians are welcome in Germany.” The same day, British Finance Minister Rachel Reeves said the United Kingdom would ease routes to bring high-skilled workers into the country. China, meanwhile, launched its own special visa for foreign tech talent on Wednesday. “China welcomes outstanding talent from all industries and sectors around the globe to come to China, take root in China, and work together to advance human society,” foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun told reporters in Beijing last month.Last month, President Donald Trump signed an executive order introducing a $100,000 fee for H-1B visas. Andrew Harnik / Getty ImagesYadav, the doctoral candidate, said the trend among Indian students is shifting away from the U.S. and toward European countries such as Germany, the Netherlands and Norway, which have high English fluency and a quicker and more reliable path to citizenship.“The dream would be to get a great job in India, but if someone mentions going abroad, I personally keep Europe as a better option compared to the U.S.,” he said, adding that this was also an opportunity for India to find ways to retain its talent.Asian destinations such as South Korea, home to Samsung and other tech giants, have also risen in popularity.Priyanshu Agrawal, a 20-year-old computer science senior at IIT, said he already has a job offer from a South Korean company and has no plans on going to the U.S. “If there are restrictions like these, then people wonder why go to a country that isn’t so welcoming,” he said. “You stop seeing the advantage of going there.”Trump’s proclamation said the H1-B program had been “deliberately exploited” to replace American workers with “lower-paid, lower-skilled labor.” The announcement was another setback to U.S.-India relations, which have sharply deteriorated after Trump slapped damaging tariffs on Indian imports, complained about Apple manufacturing iPhones in India and made overtures to Indian archrival Pakistan. “This will create another pressure point in U.S.-India relations,” said Gil Guerra, an immigration policy analyst at the Niskanen Center, a Washington-based think tank. “One potential consequence of this is another uptick in irregular Indian migration as legal pathways become even harder to pursue.”India’s foreign ministry said the H-1B fee increase, which applies only to new visa applicants, “is likely to have humanitarian consequences by way of the disruption caused for families.”Analysts say it may hurt the U.S. more.“This decision will cause U.S. businesses to offshore and drive innovation and entrepreneurship outside of the United States,” said David Bier, director of immigration studies at the Cato Institute, a Washington-based think tank. “The proclamation shows utter contempt for some of the most productive, innovative, and law-abiding people in American history.” In addition to allowing American companies to hire directly from India, the H-1B program also helps some of the more than 330,000 Indians studying in the U.S. to stay in the country after they graduate.“Universities will suffer and so will countless college towns with the drop of international student demographic,” said Sudhanshu Kaushik, executive director of the North American Association of Indian Students.“I hope a recourse happens,” he added.Mithil Aggarwal reported from New Delhi, and Jay Ganglani and Peter Guo from Hong Kong.Mithil AggarwalMithil Aggarwal is a Hong Kong-based reporter/producer for NBC News.Jay GanglaniJay Ganglani is NBC News’s 2025-26 Asia Desk Fellow.
