It is a good idea to keep the dialogues with Pakistan on, but to expect that something fruitful will come out of it is a figmentation of imagination.  India has been trying to find a so-called peace and tranquility between the two nation since 1947 through all sorts of summit meetings, but no concrete results came out of those meetings.  It seems like Mr. Sharif has learnt a lesson from his failed policy of 1999 and, hence his effort to improve relations with India.  Unfortunately, the Military/ISI/Civilian government structure of 'who actually reports to who' or should one say 'who actually makes decisions' towards India has not changed.  What it means is that even today all decisions are based on what the Pakistani military/ISI nexus wants towards India.  Civilian government has no say at all in this matter.  Under the circumstances when Mr. Sharif's hands are tied behind his back, how can one expect him to make any decision and be able to deliver it too.  Also, a recent meeting between Mr. Sharif's National Security Advisor - Mr. Aziz- and separatist groups of Kashmir is a clear indication that Pakistan has a very soft heart for those who are the proponents of separation of Kashmir.  THE PRE-CONDITION HIGHLIGHTED BY MR. KHURSHID IS VERY IMPORTANT, BUT THIS WRITER WOULD LIKE TO ADD ONE MORE PRE-CONDITION WHICH IS THAT KASHMIR ISSUE WILL NOT BE DISCUSSED AT ALL.
