Sooner or later, India will have to endorse the "LoC as international border" solution. They are not doing very well with what they have. Why should they hanker after another piece of land? Better to leave the Kashmiri people seek their own destiny, much as their neighbors have done in Kazhakstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kirghizstan.

The present attitude of "whether you like it or not, you have to stay with us!" has to change and it will change. The old fanatics will die off and the younger generation will think of what the government can do to them instead of what it can do to some perceived enemy thousands of miles away.

Some future government in India, beleaguered with mounting economic and political problems, will decide to accept the solution. Of course, it may take a little arm-twisting by India's creditors, i.e. IMF and the WB, i.e. the US, so that the Indian government will at least be able to save face. Of course, the NRI fundies, safely ensconced in the US, will be busy fretting and fuming! But events would have overtaken them and rendered them irrelevant.
