To avoid that fate, Delhi needs to do what it has never really done: recognize that Kashmir is a political question that needs a political solution, think hard about what such a solution might be and welcome outside help in finding and implementing it.

The soldiers were already close by, having followed a trail of discarded coconut meat...
