In 1947, when British India was partitioned into India and Pakistan, the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir found itself at a crossroads. The state had a Muslim-majority population, particularly in the Kashmir Valley, but was ruled by a Hindu monarch, Maharaja Hari Singh, who initially chose not to join either country, preferring independence.
However, in October 1947, tribal militias from Pakistan invaded Kashmir, aiming to force the region’s accession to Pakistan, reflecting the sentiment of many Muslims in the Valley. Caught off-guard and unable to defend his territory, the Maharaja turned to India for military assistance. India agreedon the condition that the Maharaja formally accede to India, which he did via the Instrument of Accession.
This accession allowed Indian troops to enter Kashmir, effectively bringing the region under Indian control. While India claimed legal legitimacy through the Maharaja’s decision, many argue that this move overrode the will of the Muslim-majority population, who were never given the promised plebiscite to determine their own future.
Today, the region remains deeply contested. Both India and Pakistan claim it, but millions of Kashmirisespecially in the Valleyfeel alienated from both countries. Many demand independence, believing that neither side represents their political aspirations or has respected their right to self-determination.
In the end the hindu monarch was a chicken and asked for help from India. Pakistan would have had it by the will of the people in 1947 and through the defeat of the monarch. India only got it at the time because the monarch was hindu although the people are muslim majority.

It was quickly recognized that the resistance front is a no name organization and the Lasker E taiba retracted the claim saying there were no sanctioned attacks. In fact, they claim there was an intrusion into their system and an unauthorized message wasissued.
Furthermore, it’s been said the first FIR (incident report) with the Indian police was filed within 10 minutes of when the attack began at a police station that is 5 km away. Meanwhile help did not arrive for another 1. 5 hours and the perpetrators had enough time to carry out their killings and escape. Which in itself is strange given the location since it’s further from the border that is one of the most militarized and monitored in the world, and Kashmir has 1 soldier for every 7 people making it one of the most militarized/occupied regions in the world.

you devalued all the freedom movements in india led by our great martyrs and freedom fighters. its not our fault you're not taught in schools the complete truth but merely the undeniable. The British were made to flee by the collective efforts of all the non-violent and violent movements led by leaders believing on 2 different ideologies. don't devalue the contribution of saheed Bhagat Singh, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Mahatma Gandhi, and numerous other leaders who're praised all over the country for their courage and valour. controlling india was not causing them problems during WW2 rather giving them strong hold as they sucked in all of our resources and manpower for their personal war almost 90% during the period

Just wanna say Kashmir is honestly one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Nature there is beyond words. It’s the kind of place that stays in your heart forever.
I recently visited Hunza in Pakistan and it was life-changing. The people were so warm, the vibe was peaceful, and the mountains felt like magic. I’ve also been to India, and it’s full of color, culture, and amazing energy. Both countries are so rich in history, food, music, and heart.
It breaks my heart that there’s still tension between them. They were once one, and they still share so much language, traditions, even smiles.
Sending love to both India and Pakistan. I really hope one day peace wins. The people deserve it.

Pak military is posting photos to terr rits. Yesterday only, a pak rally was held with terr rists incharge and speaking and beside them seated was a government official. When ask in Sky news from pak defence minister that is pak sponsoring terr rists, he said yes we have been doing that dirty work for the West since 3 decades.
Pak is holding funeral for UN sanctioned terr rists. Osama and the plotters of 26/11/2008, 2016 terr rists attack are also found in Pakistan.
How. Much. Proof. Does. The. World. Need

You're also wrong with the article 370 rebuke and comparing this to the east Jerusalem situation. No where has India said that only Hindus could now buy land and move into Kashmir, both proud Indian hindus and muslims alike have equal rights on all our land buddy. Its unreal how you have missed out on a lot of Pakistani activities, portrayed them as victims and spoken about the situation in truly with an American perspective. Have you forgotten where you found Osama

My question would be, why would any Pakistani fight to remain in Pakistan The choice is either live in a country that failing and you have good chances to be bombed by your neighboars who are Sunni if you are Shia, or Shia if you are a Sunni. This month already were 4 terror attacks in Pakistan by Pakistani. 7 soldiers, 2 police, 1 doctor, 4 random people. There was one terror attack in India in April, they targeted non-Muslim tourists. Guess who was behind that.

The idea that a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan could cause an apocalyptic nuclear winter is simply false. Their warheads are to few and far to small to ever do anything close to that. The unbelievable carnage and suffering a nuclear war would cause directly (not to mention its utterly unpredictable secondary effects on geopolitics and the global economy) are bad enough without adding speculation based on false assumptions.

Lol Indians projecting their hate against Pakistanis in a comment section with other Indians agreeing with them. Using their own media as a source. The reality is, that India has the same extreme ethnonationalist ideology as Israel. A hate, warmongering genocidal ideology. They just can't accept it. Pakistan recently gave them a wake up call and we in the west saw and know what happened.

pakistan's economy is in shambles rn. no money left in their reserves, increasing debt and dependencies on other countries for imports. extremely low productivity and a huge amount of brain drain. and yet they want a huge piece of land filled with mountains and inhospitable plains in very cold temperatures managing such a land that will cause an even huge burden to its economy.

LOL of course! Everything that ever goes wrong is always the White man's fault, right There is no way muslims and hindus didn't like eachother before their independance. White man bad every time. You guys are actually worse than the nazis conspiracies about Jews. Like no matter how far-fetched it is: you will always find a way to blame a White man for anything.

Correction 4: 45 Pakistan was created on religious lines not India. Pakistan was carved out of India and section of India, western and eastern Bengal having Muslim majority become main land mass of Pakistan.
Kashmir although Majority Muslim didn’t join either India or Pakistan. Few other provinces also didn’t join India or Pakistan.

Mountbatten told Gandhi the PARTITION a was a HUGH. Mistake. Gandhi ALLOWED partition cuz he was so impatient for Independence instead of waiting till folks came to their senses. He is the main cause of the insane partition. Not the British.
Muslims and Hindus lived together fairly peacefully in India for more than 1000 years.

India: the majority of people are Hindus so they belong to India, because that’s what matters, even if the leader wanted to join Pakistan
Also India: even though the majority of people are Muslim, but the leader wanted to join India, so it should belong to India because that’s what matters this time

If India claims Jungadh due to Hindu majority then they should accept Pakistani claim to Jammu and Kashmir due to Muslim majority. Otherwise, they can revoke claims to Jungadh and maintain claim to Jammu and Kashmir. It’s one or the other, they can’t bend the rules to favor them alone.

Britain didn't decide to partition India. Read a history book. The last thing Britain wanted was partition. The reason Pakistan exists is that Jinnah and the Muslim League were absolutely unyielding on the matter; they were going to have a separate Muslim homeland one way or another.

Almost certain this video will not show any pictures or videos from Pakistan occupied Kashmir.
Eveytime there is a mention no change to line of control because all wars India won not Pakistan. Had Pakistan won the war you would have seen the change in borders or land.

I wish you learnt how to express yourself concisely and cut out all the unnecessary repetition and rambling. These videos could be half the length with much better information density. And reduce using the same words over and over in consecutive or even same sentences.
