Afghanis have choosen their faith themselves. They themself have choosen path of stone age. 2 lac army surrendered infront of few thousand taliban, they have soft corner for taliban and they want to live as it is. Majority of them like taliban , that's why they have chosen this path..
Regardless of political affiliation this is a sham and the foreign policy flops continue. NOBODY, despite repeated requests even want to come and see the Taliban delegation, none of them will recognize it and IK trying to justify HR issues in Afghanistan is doing nobody a favor neither is it going to magically convince all those countries to recognize the Taliban, TLDR;
The purpose of the meeting was not to provide recognition but to help avert the humanitarian crisis in Afg, and provide a Muslim voice to this issue (so far it has been only western driven agenda by bringing up certain HR issues etc.). The OIC has appointed a representative which will deal with the incumbent govt and a Fund has been setup to channel aid legally. The TB govt for the first time had a chamce to address at a global conference of this level. These are major major outcomes from Pakistans perspective- but what is the outcome of Indian meeting that you term as success? Nothing. They could only get 3 neighbors and two of the most important neighbors Pakistan and China are not even there. So its just a feel good groupie for Indians. Please understand the difference between a global scope vs a regional scope. For regional aspect, Pakistan is already driving the regional agenda by being part of the Troika-plus meetings and has kept India out of it.
I don't know the contents with regards to India's meeting but the fact that those countries saw India as a more reliable partner to secure their interests rather than Pakistan should really be shocking. All this Gwadar, TAPI and central Asia connectivity but at the end of the day they look to India for help. Even Saudi Arabia only promised to give Aid in the form of consumables and other supplies not hard cash and like i said before declined Pakistan's offer to meet the Taliban delegation face to face, same with several other nations. The trust fund is also going to be at the behest of the US, whether they see it in their interests to release funds or not will be the deciding factor. None of these are 'major' nor are these in Pakistan's hands considering the current situation for Pakistan.The purpose of the meeting was not to provide recognition but to help avert the humanitarian crisis in Afg, and provide a Muslim voice to this issue (so far it has been only western driven agenda by bringing up certain HR issues etc.).

Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi Sunday said the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers had agreed to establish a humanitarian trust fund to help Afghanistan people, facing a dire situation, ARY News reported.
Addressing a joint press conference along with Secretary-General OIC Hissein Brahim Taha here at the conclusion of the 17th extraordinary session of OIC Council of Foreign Ministers, Qureshi also announced that the forum had also decided to launch a food security programme for the people of Afghanistan.
“Helping people of Afghanistan is a shared responsibility and despite the desire, Pakistan alone cannot meet their humanitarian needs,” Qureshi said and reiterated that a humanitarian crisis was looming in Afghanistan.
“We can have a difference of opinion with the Afghan authorities but our focus should be on 38 million people of Afghanistan,” said Qureshi, adding that neighbouring countries would also be adversely impacted if countries did not come forward to help Afghan people.
The foreign minister went on to say that there will be further follow-up meetings to alleviate the suffering of the Afghan people. He further said the Afghan delegation apprised the OIC meeting about the situation in Afghanistan.
