Top-level talks open on Kashmir

The decision on the fate of Kashmir should be made by the people of Kashmir, but neither of the sides is ready to this, and it´s hard to believe that any lasting solution can be made which is made solely by the leaders of Pakistan and India and which hasn´t the support of the local population.

And the reason why the populace are not given a chance to make a choice of their own is that according to gallups, given chance the majority would choose independence and thus both India and Pakistan would lose and neither is ready for it. After all, they have fought 56 years for the control of Kashmir and then to lose all is too hard for them to swallow.
