What was discussed between President Obama and the Prime Minister of Pakistan was nothing new. The litany of complaints Mr. Sharif brought with him against India was just like a broken record.  Kashmir issue has been raised by the Pakistani officials at all international forums many a times including the United Nations, but has achieved no results.  The reason being that the whole world has realized that Pakistan is portraying a dual face in front of the civilized society and, hence, gives no credence to what Pakistan is saying.  Pakistan is a known epicenter of terrorism.  Anywhere and whenever there is a terrorist act, its roots are found in Pakistan.  Mr. Ben of the UN has recently told Pakistan that the united Nations will not get involved unless both India and Pakistan request its involvement.  Every time Pakistan requests the United States to intervene in the Kashmir issue, their request is denied.  The unfortunate and strange situation is that Pakistan does not get a hint that they are wasting time discussing a Kashmir issue.  Kashmir is part of India and Pakistan is an occupier.  The world also knows why Pakistan is keeping Kashmir issue alive.  It is not what the civilian government in Islamabad wants, rather the civilian government is dancing on the tune set by the nexus of Pakistani military/ISI.  The importance of this nexus remains alive so long as the Kashmir issue remains a bone of contention between India and Pakistan.  However, this writer feels astonished that in spite of the fact that the US government knows the true color of Pakistani establishment, they are still contemplating providing military hardware to Pakistan.  India needs to remain proactive.
