but it is hard to tell if there is enough political
will even now for the frozen parties to climb down
from & out of their respective ice cubes


note
http://www.kashmirsentinel.com/apr1999/3.9.html
mentions that the 1963cnpk cession was subject to
renegotiation after final inpk settlement
but that this provision was unilaterally revoked by
china in 1987
so realistically it is looking like india will have to
accept a cninpk position somewhere along the karakoram
ridge line in any case

& it appears indira col is the present de facto cninpk
anyway
contrary to my assertions in
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/17388
&
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/16561

i should have remembered
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/9955
which was accurate
& now looks almost prescient


still no pix or other hard data found for this
location yet tho
