since william dalrymple is a known sarkari 'historian', i am really terrified this 'solution' will soon show up as the official UPA position.
this dalrymple is the idiot in the family. the other one, theodore, is the smart one (although his is a pseudonym).
of course, the ISI would say: "fine, you leave afghanistan. we'll leave kashmir." yeah, right.
more like, "you leave afghanistan, AND you leave kashmir. both are ours. we are winning both anyway, why should we swap?"
relevant excerpts:
begin quote
The stage is now open for a deal whereby India could agree to minimise its presence in Afghanistan – which it could accept as Pakistan's sphere of influence – in return for Pakistan withdrawing its longstanding sponsorship of the Kashmir jihad, which it could accept as India's domain.

Huh?
Kashmir jihad is India's domain?
Does this fool even read what he writes, or is this what he really means?
