The Diplomat: India Invites Pakistan To Talk

As many of you know, India and Pakistan have a long history and recent relations between the two countries have not exactly been friendly. With Pakistani based terrorists focused on India as well as fears that Pakistan is harboring terrorists, India has been growing its arms, spurring a race for arms between the two country. Both countries have nuclear arms. However, India has offered Pakistan an opportunity to talk:

"Though little progress has been made in India's efforts to get Islamabad to crack down on India-focused militants operating on Pakistani soil, India's concerns over Taliban appeasement in Afghanistan are driving New Delhi toward engagement with Islamabad," said Stratfor, which provides strategic intelligence on security and geopolitical affairs.

"India knows the only way it can edge into the Afghanistan dialogue and hope to influence the Taliban negotiations is to first reopen a diplomatic channel with Pakistan," it said in its news analysis on India’s offer of talks with Islamabad.

This is a very significant development, but it remains to be seen whether anything will be done. I doubt that Pakistan will agree to anything beyond the talks.
