From Paris to Bangkok to Islamabad in ten days!

New Delhi : The lightening speed with which India-Pakistan talks have traveled is amusing if not baffling. Can a less than three-minute conversation between Prime Mministers Narendra Modi and Nawaz Sharif on the sidelines of the Paris climate summit change the atmospherics so much that the two countries would agree to composite dialogue within 10 days?
How can a government, which takes offence to the Pakistan high commissioner to New Delhi hosting Kashmiri separatists, leading to cancellation of foreign secretary level talks, take a sudden 360-degree U-turn? What has happened in between that the Modi government decided to expand the scope of bilateral dialogue from terror-specific talks? There is something more to this sudden development than meets the eye. Is there a nudge from some foreign power? Any guesses? Will the government come clean on it? Questions are being asked whether the Indian Government has conceded too much and too soon? Has the government smelt something which others have not? Has Pakistan created a positive atmosphere warranting a “composite” dialogue? There does not seem any prevention of infiltration attempts from across the border. Terror activities continue unabated in Jammu and Kashmir, not to talk about the on-off border skirmishes.
