Its a significant step down from all previous demands, quite a diplomatic play, looks like Sharif seriously wants to rewrite his legacy but I am not too optimistic for a solution in an India that is fixated with Modi's 56 inch chest. He has to play to an audience that is counting on him to deliver two things:
1. Business
2. Power Projection
And a good deal of number 2 involves disengaging with Pakistan. Although they might think its a good strategy for now, it is myopic and also will result in no results so its as good as the status quo.
Sadly yes, all due to trust deficit. I appreciate the courage the shown by NS nonetheless as some points are if not radical then still brave considering the ground reality.
In short term though expect similar peace noises from India - their implementation would hinge on various factors chief among them Pakistan's rigidity on Kashmir.
