Indian, Pakistani officials meet under Indus Commission framework

Meeting and talking with Pakistan is utter foolishness. We are wasting our time. Here is what Pakistan wants: Kashmir for free. Then they want India to self-destruct. I am sure they have other, non-negotiable demands. I am sure their generals want money for free as well, and an agreement that we will lose all cricket matches. Most Pakistani elites feel entitled to these things. Even I, an ordinary civilian without any connection to the Pakistani or Indian government, know this. Why doesn't the Indian government? As a civilian, there is only one thing I am very happy to vote in favor of giving to Pakistan. That would be our invaluable human resources; Indian citizens who work tirelessly for Pakistan, fly the Pakistani flag in their universities, work toward toward the creation of an Islamic Caliphate in India. These people are Hindus and these people are Muslim (religion does not dictate treasonous behaviors). Personally, my family temple (Sharada temple) is just across the border in POK. It is in ruins. Yes, I intend to rebuild it when I can. When I can go there with my children and grandchildren, undeterred, without a passport, when I can watch a polo match in Gilgit, re-learn the local languages and dialects, and visit the places where my gurus sat and attained enlightenment, walk unimpeded where my ancestors lived for thousands of years before their displacement, I'll support conversations with Pakistan. Until then, we should not talk to terrorists or occupiers.
