Legally, Jammu & Kashmir is an integral and inseparable part of India. The British had ruled India as one undivided country made up of many provinces and princely states. When they left, India was partitioned into two separate countries. The new country, as mentioned earlier, was called Pakistan. The British as well as the leaders of both India and Pakistan had agreed to one basic principle - every inch of land must go either to India or to Pakistan. In other words, people living in India before the partition of 1947, had only two options: they could either join Pakistan or they could join India. They could not remain independent.
Jammu & Kashmir was actually an exception. The Maharaja of the State had wanted time to decide whether he should join Pakistan or join India. But the rulers of Pakistan did not want to give him the opportunity to decide and instead attacked his state, killing hundreds of people and causing extensive damage to property. The Pakistani action forced the Maharaja to join India. But still pakistan try to take over kashmir which is illegal.

What was the history of Pakistan and India with kashmir?

India gave a Prince a piece of the country, which was very beautiful, for him to have his palace and rule. It was passed down for generations and then they died out. Pakistanis live here and so do Indians. It followed many Indian traditions and teachings even though Pakistanis lived here too. It kind of broke into a fight to see which country it should belong to- Pakistan (with the major religion in Kashmir) or India (who previously owned it). They decided to have a vote. Pakistan needed a lake there to survive but, some thought it was India's now. The vote was coming up but- Pakistan attacked. They went into a city in India and terrorized it for the land. This cancelled the voting and we still don't know who the land belongs to. What country do you think it should be?


Who do you think should get Kashmir and why?

Kashmir was part of India since countries existed. The Ancient Hindu scriptures refer to Kashmir, and it was the centre of learning under the Sharda University that was destroyed by the invaders. Out of three parts of Kashmir, One third is Muslim, One third Hindu, and One third Buddhist. All these religions are treated equally by India (unlike Pakistan which neglects Minorities) and therefore India is the most suitable country. Furthermore, Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI has plotted terrorism and sold a portion of the part of Kashmir it has occupied, and therefore has no rights to Kashmir. An independent Kashmir would be taken over by the Taliban and would end up as instable as Afghanistan. India is a developing nation; a full democracy and has invested heavily in Kashmir by creating jobs and infrastructure. Few Kashmiris want to join Pakistan and less than half wish to be independent. (see Chatham House report). Therefore India is the best and only option for Kashmir.

Why did Pakistan seperate from India?

Pakistan was formed because the Muslims didnt think they had a future in India......they thought they would be mistrated as they were in a minority(not because Muhammed Ali Jinnah wanted to be first PM of India if he did when Pakistan was created he would have become the prime minister of Pakistan but he didnt want to he wanted to be the governer generalBecause the Muslims became in a minority and as the world became more democratic they knew that hindus would be in power and worried about there rights so Muhammed Ali Jinnah decided to create Pakistan which would consist of the provinces of India where Muslims were in majority.Which now formed Punjab sindh,balochistan,Khyber-Pakthunkwa,East Pakistan(present day Bangladesh)and Kashmir,Today India and Pakistan dispute over kashmir because rightfully it was theres there was a Muslim majority but a Hindu ruler who wanted to stay with India


Why should India have kashmir?

If we look into the History, we shall come to know that at the time of partition of Hindustan into India and Pakistan, Kashmir had 75% Moslem population in it. Its Ruler, Hari Singh did not want to affiliate Kashmir neither with Pakistan nor with India. However, using diplomacy, Indian army declared officially without any proof that its ruler had affiliated it with India. The ruler was also shocked. BECAUSE HIS SIGNATURES WERE FAKE.IN A NUTSHELL: Today It is the part of India due to itsegocentricity
