The government of India is standing firmly with Afghanistan ceasefire bid initiated by Ashraf Ghani even as the Taliban said that they would now continue to fight till the USA and other foreign forces leave Afghanistan. In short, Afghanistan ceasefire may soon very well be over. But on this, India and Afghanistan are on the same page, that is for sure.
