NEW Delhi is feeling quietly satisfied that the first part of the composite first round of foreign secretary-level talks with Pakistan passed off without Islamabad pulling out of the second half of the talks, scheduled to be held in Delhi next month. So, judging from Pakistan TV, is Islamabad. Does this mean that the two countries have at last begun to look seriously for a meeting ground on the issues that divide them? A televised discussion of the talks on Pakistan TV that I was fortunate to catch last Wednesday evening suggests the exact opposite. The intelligentsia in Pakistan is indulging in wishful thinking and reading what they want to read into the talks. So, one suspects are a large number of Indians who have been traditionally dovish towards Pakistan. As a result, instead of bringing the two countries together, the talks are in imminent danger of driving them further apart.
