• Pakistan prioritizing economy revival over India ties; weak coalition government has limited power on India policy.
• India focused on global ambitions, isolating Pakistan regionally, and anti-Muslim policies of Modi's Hindutva ideology.
• Normalization only likely if Sharif pursues like past outreach or Modi seeks legacy win in 3rd term, but hostility could still undermine.
• Experts say path to resume dialogue or ties requires mutual effort, otherwise likely another era of diplomatic freeze.
