Good beginning, the Vajpayee govt's initiatives are carried forward by UPA, only bright spot in the lack lustre functioning of UPA. But be careful to jump to any conclusion about Msharraf's intentions. It will be too hasty to conclude that he has a change of heart over Kashmir issue. Because the conflict is bread and butter for Pakistan Army, they are rewarded for peace intitiatives but actual peace means they don't have a case for the ruling the country, the perks are too tempting to let it go that early. Threat perception against India is the only weapon they have to get F-16s etc. But with all the bonhomie amonst the people at large, it will be difficult to sell the threat to Pakistani people for long also it will not be easy to rollback the inititatives. Hurriyat were a paper tigers, sooner or later it will be exposed to all Kashmiris.
