kashmir talk is fun talk..both govt cant bend on it..in india,yielding anything will be a treason..
i doubt any indian govt can dare to go down to appease pakistan once it is already in such a dismal situation!!

Pakistan can only hope for the best and concentrate upon fixing its economy,weak law and order,extremism,War against terror.

Only money and economics can heal the distance...if india and pakistan becomes largest or second largest trade partner and once people of both country stop seeing each other as enemy and rivals;then kashmir problem could be really solved ...Till then we talk,talk ...we need to wait 10 years practically and hope for best
