For years I have been told that NOT PROBLEM can be solved without addressing the ROOT CAUSE which India was (and is) not willing to solve from last 60 years.
You can keep cutting the branches to get rid of the tree but unless you take the root out, there is no way you can get rid of the tree. What India is saying that we will not take out the root of the tree but its pakistan's duty to not allow branches to grow.
First and very minor and mandatory step towards solving a problem is that you acknowledge that problem exists and India is not even willing to do that let alone solving it. So much for atoot ang for 60 years!
No one is asking for brushing it under the carpet ..... but you cannot have talks on one side and plan attacks on the other side.
Indian PM went to Pakistan with an open mind to talk .... what was the response .... he was gifted Kargil !!!!!!
Even now .... talks had been going on .... till last year.
But there are groups within Pakistan who have survived for last 20 years on Kashmir .... now they suddenly see this coming to an end so they had to take matter into their hand so India was presented with 26/11.
