Kashmir Leaders Push for Talks

Kashmir Leaders Push for Talks

A long time ago, India and Pakistan had a big meeting called the Agra Summit to talk about Kashmir, but it didn't work out.

Now, leaders in Kashmir say they should try talking again because fighting all the time isn't good.

Some leaders remember that there was hope for peace back then, but things got worse.

They think that even though things are bad now, talking is the only way to make things better.

They also remember that there were some good things that happened after the Agra Summit, like a bus service for families to visit each other across the border.

But that stopped after a big attack in 2019.

Even though things are still tense, there is a ceasefire, which means no fighting right now.

Some leaders think there might be hints of talks happening again, but it's not clear.

They hope they can start from where they left off a long time ago.
