There is absolutely no traction in Indian for any kind of solution other than converting the LoC to an IB (open,close,loose, tight...whatever). AB Vajpayee would have been more willing to compromise in 1999 as would Manmohan Singh in 2004-05. However in 2011, the situation is just not the same. Not withstanding last summers protests, India is in the strongest position it has ever been and the position of Pakistan, relatively speaking has never been weaker ( atleast since 1991). What would be the idea to conjure up something that might rock the boat? After 26/11, there is absolutely no appetite for any close relationship to be forged with Pakistan. Talks/no talks, India's position won't change much. If a solution can be found on terms similar to what would be acceptable to the Indian population, there is no harm exploring that. Anything else would be suicide!
