Most observers have chosen to focus on the problem of working out a mechanism for solving the two thorny problems. But that is only part of the dilemma. Islamabad wants the structure of the talks to be such that Kashmir is reflected as the core issue, bestowing it with a certain exclusivity, high profile and focus. In such a scenario, it is easy to use the whole exercise for propaganda purposes. When Pakistan's foreign secretary, Shamshad Ahmad, arrived in New Delhi, there were indications that he would not insist on a working group and would agree to a subcommittee. From the Indian point of view, there is no difference in this except in the nomenclature. In fact, it will not come as much of a surprise if Pakistan suddenly drops the demand for a joint working group and seeks an alternative arrangement which provides exclusivity to the Kashmir issue.
