Omar Abdullah (L), Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, and Sonia Gandhi, Chief of India's ruling Congress party, waves before the inauguration of a train service in Anantnag, 55km (34miles) south of Srinagar, October 28, 2009. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh reached out to Kashmiri separatists on Wednesday, offering to renew stalled peace talks to end a decades-old insurgency in the Himalayan region. Dialogue between the government and separatists broke down in 2006. India's only Muslim-majority state, the fate of Kashmir has sparked two full scale wars between India and Pakistan and an armed revolt in which tens of thousands have died.
