India’s False Claim On Kashmir
Kashmir, an area situated in the northern parts of Pakistan And India, covers an area of 222,237 SqKm (85,800 SqMi). Mount Godwin Austen/K2 (8,611m/28,250 ft) and mount Nanga Parbat (8,123m/26,650 ft) lie in Northern Kashmir. ... The most problematic region was largely Muslim Kashmir. The Pakistanis argue that Kashmir should have become part of Pakistan in 1947 because the majority of its population is Muslims. ... India says that Kashmir belongs to them because of the Instrument of Accession signed by the Maharaja in October 1947, which handed over to Delhi powers of defense, communication and foreign affairs. ... However, the Maharaja of Kashmir (Hari Singh Dogra) in attempt to preserve the integrity of Kashmir decided not to go into any of the states. ... Exercising his new powers, the Maharaja decided to hold the decision of choosing between the states since his intentions were to make Kashmir an independent country. On October 22nd, 1947 Pakistan was the first to decide to send forces to Kashmir to end the monarchy of Maharaja. Surprisingly, tribesmen from Pakistan went inside Kashmir to gain control over it. ... India, finding a perfect excuse for getting into the war and occupying Kashmir, took action and sent their military inside the capital on October 27th of the same year. ... In the military conflict, one third of Kashmir went under Pakistan (known as Azad or Free Kashmir) and the remaining two-third went under India who still has tyrannical soldiers occupying Kashmir and their people’s freedom. ...
Politically, Kashmir has a lot of significance for both the countries. ...
To understand the conflict we first need to look at the interesting points that make Kashmir a vital point of occupancy. Four out of five main rivers capable of providing agriculture in Pakistan have their roots in Kashmir. ...
Line of control which is line located between Azad (free) Kashmir and Indian Occupied Kashmir. To the east of the Line of Control (LOC) lies the vale of Kashmir, Jammu and Ladakh which are controlled by India. To the west lies the area now known as Azad (free) Kashmir which is governed by its own people with strong ties with Pakistan, since they were the ones to free.
