I recently saw a map of India in one of the popular courier companies' billboards (not exactly a billboard, rather the display over the entrance - marquee?) in which only the portion of Kashmir controlled by India was shown to be within Indian borders.

Does this mean that the powers that be have finally admitted to themselves the reality of the Kashmir situation, i.e., contrary to our publicly stated position that the whole of Kashmir belongs to India, there is no fricken way (short of winning a nuclear exchange with Pakistan) we will ever reclaim the portions not under our control?
