No doubt this is a good solution but unfortunately it is going to solve the conflict. This is going to end the dream of Mourya Empire territory to be once again part of present India.
- Let India and Pakistan give up their control of the valley and make the valley region (about 5% of the disputed area) into a quasi-independent nation with UN control or a guarded neutrality similar to Switzerland. This could act as a sort of buffer state (in the earlier days major powers used to have such buffer days between them). India and Pakistan could provide 50% of armed forced each to this new authority. India would lose some territory but so would Pakistan and it kind of would be more palatable. For India, the advantages are that the rest of state can be completely merged into India with no special status, reduction of army budget required to protect the valley, reduction of border disputes with Pakistan and improvement of its overall brand image in the world stage. Pakistan leaders can claim a massive victory (given that they have got some territory out of India) and resume normal relationship with India.
