For many the talks are a ray of hope in the otherwise tense relationship between the neighboring states that have fought three wars since independence in 1947. But progress has been slow, and victims of terrorist attacks in India, largely blamed on pro-Pakistan militants, say they are skeptical about what the peace process can achieve. A voiced report.
