Who's the Bully?

Talks on the future of the Himalayan region have failed to make any progress. The blame game continues... independence vs. autonomy. Both sides have very differing opinions and are frustrated. Both sides feel that ethnic cleansing is taking place.

While future talks have not been ruled out, there doesn't seem to be much chance of real progress any time soon.

Maybe the two sides should clarify definitions... what does independence mean, and what does autonomy mean? And what compromises need to be decided upon. Or is compromise impossible because of the size and power of the bully?
