Indo-Pakistani War of 1947-1948 - Cold War DOCUMENTARY

The brits in Pak Army refused to send Pak Army in Kashmir until Indians had captured all the strategic passes from ill equipped and outnumbered freedom fighters and tribals. All this was done on behest of Lord Mountbatten who favoured India due to his close personal relationship with Nehru.

'A close personal relationship with nehru' You know its highly implied that Mountbatten s wife and Nehru had an affair? The men couldn't stand each other by the end. But Im ready to change my mind if a credible source is offered abt their friendship

[@AmanKumarPadhy]

The Stand Down Order was the title of a general order issued by Field Marshall Claude Auchinleck, the Supreme Commander of the Indian and Pakistani military forces, in 1947. It directed that, in the event of a war between the newly independent dominions of India and Pakistan, all the British officers on both sides should immediately stand down. The order was never invoked. However, it was raised when the Pakistani Governor General, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, ordered Pakistani Army to march into Kashmir following the Indian air lift of troops for its defence. At Auchinleck's instance, Jinnah was forced to rescind his order. In subsequent months, the British government watered down the strength of the order, and General Douglas Gracey, the Commander-in-Chief of the Pakistani Army, defied it. Three brigades of the Pakistani Army were fighting in Kashmir in May 1948, as reported by Pakistan's foreign minister, Sir Zafrullah Khan, to the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan.

Gilgit Scouts did not launch a coup d'etat against the Maharaja until he illegally signed the Instrument of Accession joining India. That move alienated the officers because it was a betrayal of their oath and a decision taken against the will of the people. It is true that Major Alexander W. Brown was the commandant but the planning for the coup was largely undertaken by local officers like Major Babar from Nagar and Captain Shah Khan from Hunza. Other officers of the J&K State Force such as Lt Colonel Mirza Hasan Khan joined the rebellion by turning their gun against Ghansara Singh who surrendered in Bunji.

[@claymore993]

What exactly did it explained? The progrom and ethnic cleansing of muslims in Jammu? The false promise of India to retain special status of Kashmir? The fact that Kashmiri people rose against Maharaja? Or the most critical fact that Indian intervention was planned not in October 1947 but way beyond when Radcliffe unjustly gave Gurdaspur district to India to give them a path to attack Kashmir from ground and a road was hastily built just before partition from Pathankot to Jammu and Rajouri to allow faster movement of Indian troops.

[@ayushnair3587]

@@claymore993 1. If you want to talk about demographic change in Kashmir, start from the 1200s, when Shah Mir's rule turned Kashmir from Kashmiri Shaivite to the Sunni Muslim region. It also doesn't change the fact that Ladakhis never considered themselves part of Kashmir. 2. If you're talking about Article 370, you forgot a few things. *One,* it was always meant to be temporary. *Two,* it was passed hastily by the Parliament under Nehru, so its passing was unconstitutional. *Three,* it essentially transferred the power of the entirety of J&K to Sunni Muslim Kashmiri groups, namely Farooq Abdullah and Mufti Mohammed Sayeed, with no representation to Jammu Hindus, Valmiki Dalits, and Ladakhis. *Four,* the Constitution of J&K which was released in 1956 explicitly states that J&K is an integral part of India. *Five,* Jinnah had no interest in granting autonomy to Pakistan. Sheikh Abdullah openly denounced Jinnah at UN HQ, during his speech on Kashmir. *Six,* Pakistan didn't give any special provisions to PoK either. You snatched away GB from AJK Government by the 1949 Karachi Agreement. You displaced about 100,000 Mirpuris while creating the Mangla Dam. I don't think Pakistanis have any moral high ground. *Seven,* Article 35A also granted J&K autonomy to grant citizenship, which led to the infiltration of terrorists and Rohingyas, which also led to demographic change and increased militancy during the 90s, which eventually led to KP exodus. *Eight,* that Article was discriminatory to women. It didn't allow women who married to non-Kashmiris the right to own property in Kashmir, but Kashmiri men marrying non-Kashmiri women were still allowed to do so. It also didn't allow KPs to take back their property after their exodus. 3. Regarding the Gurdaspur argument that I hear multiple times- (1) Punjab was the homeland of Sikhs. Sikhs staunchly opposed the concept of Pakistan. Yet, Jinnah did everything politically to infiltrate Punjab by intimidating Unionist Party members and exploiting its support base. So you're crying about a small piece of Punjab when the Sikhs themselves were against the creation of Pakistan. Muslims got mad when Israel was formed right at the heart of the Muslim homeland. Imagine what the Sikhs had to go through. Gurdaspur was next to Amritsar district, and giving away Gurdaspur to Pakistan would mean exposing Amritsar to Pakistan on 3 fronts. Considering Amritsar is sacred for Sikhs, it deserves to have a proper geographical connection with the rest of India. (2) Dinajpur district was awarded to Pakistan as compensation for the loss of Gurdaspur. (3) Gurdaspur was already out of the question during the Cabinet Mission. It was explicitly stated so. So this didn't randomly prop up by the Boundary Commission. (4) Have you even read the documents regarding Partition? Regarding Gurdaspur, it is clearly mentioned that they only had a marginal majority, which didn't even exist 40 years back (Imperial Gazetteer of 1901 lists that Gurdaspur district had 49% Muslims). Furthermore, Pathankot Tehsil, which actually connects Kashmir to India, had a Hindu majority. (5) Boundary Commission was unfair to both sides. India didn't get Chittagong either. Radcliffe almost gave Lahore to India, but that didn't happen either. (6) You also forgot Jinnah's monstrous claims in his vision of Pakistan. He and Chaudhary Rahmat Ali went so far as to claim Hindu majority lands in India to connect Muslim regions far away from India, such as in UP. He was in cahoots with the Nizam, and also the ruler of Junagadh. He wanted to eat up the whole of Punjab and Bengal. After doing so much to disturb India's sovereignty, do you seriously expect India to give away Gurdaspur and trust Pakistan that it would not use it to attack Kashmir?

@@ayushnair3587 You can't fool an actual Kashmiri with these half truths. My family was first forced to migrate from District Rajouri in 1947 by Dogra Army and then relocated during Mangla dam construction in 1964 (all affected including my family were given twice the land and money they lost and are compensated even today). 1) First of all, if you want to go in history you will find that Hinduism or Santana dharm also came to India through invaders from north west who wiped out the indigenous Dravid civilizations. 2) The law preventing non Kashmiris to buy land or own buisnesses in Kashmir was not introduced by Nehru, it was already present in Dogra rule and ironically it was implemented to stop Punjabi and Pathan muslims to migrate in Kashmir. 3) Pakistan has never revoked the special status of Kashmir. No Pakistani can buy land in Kashmir or settle there permanently. 4) Pakistan never integrated Kashmir as its own province, it has its own govt, PM and President. 5) Your claims about Jinnah demanding hindu majority areas are absurd, show me any authentic proof. 6) As a rule even border districts were partitioned where no religion has significant majority. So Gurdaspur should also be partitioned, but Radcliffe traded it for Firozpur to Pakistan which should have been given to India but Nehru and Mountbatten knew the strategic importance of Gurdaspur and both worked in cahoots to join princely states with India. 7) Sheikh Abdullah was not a representative of Kashmir. Nobody outside Kashmir valley knew his name as our elders tell us. He was just a tout of Nehru who played secularism and nationalism. 8) Last, deep down everyone knows that if things ever come to plebiscite in future, the Kashmiris will vote for independence or maybe merger with Pakistan but they will never in their sane mind want to stay with India. Thats why BJP-RSS is bent on changing demography of the province.

Nah, it was just heavily Indian version presented in the Video. First of all, it all started in Poonch. Then you can hear him say that Maharaja crushed many rebellion's but didn't go into details. Jammu, was a state with equal amount of Hindus, Muslims and Buddhist, with Muslims having slight majority, but after the maharaja crushed the rebellion's, he committed many crimes. Many were killed and over 200k people fled the region to Pakistan. The invasion on Pakistan side was just the tribal lords and other pricely states. The princely states of Dir, Swat, Chitral, and Gilgit along with the support of Pushtoon tribesmen launched attack on Kashmir on their own. Pakistan Army only got involved when India send its army. Even then the British Officers in Pakistan army didnt fight because of the commonwealth they were subject of the king of England. Jinnah had to remove all the British officers from Army because they were not listening to him. The video was good, but the author took very less time to explain Pakistan side of the story and spend most of the time focusing on Indian story.

India's Muslim population is significantly larger in numbers and percent than the combined Hindu, Sikh, Christian, and Buddhist minorities are in Pakistan and Bangladesh.

The book “Raiders in Kashmir” authored by retired Major General Akbar Khan of Pakistan Army contradicts the myth that tribals raided Kashmir in 1947-48. General Khan not only confessed that Pakistan directly assisted the raiders in Kashmir but also gave the graphic details of the involvement of Pakistan Army. He also narrated that Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah who was Pakistan’s first Governor General was fully aware of Pakistan’s assistance while Prime Minister Liaqat Ali Khan was not only cognizant but was helping in procurement of weapons, finance etc. The retired Major General not only boldly accepts Pakistan’s assistance to Jihadists but also tries to justify the backing. He also gave details that how he himself was present in Kashmir though he was a serving officer of Pakistan army. Akbar Khan also asserts that according to the basic concept of creation of Pakistan, the Muslim majority area had to be merged in Pakistan hence Kashmir which had about 75 percent Muslim population had to be an integral part of Pakistan. At the time of partition Kashmir’s 84,500 square miles area had no effective rail or road linkage with India. The letter K in Pakistan is for Kashmir. The writer also mentioned that Kashmir was essential for Pakistan because of strategic as well as economic reasons. The book also mentions about ‘Operation Gulmarg’ which was planned and launched by Pakistan army. The army Headquarters did the planning and groundwork of Operation Gulmarg since August 1947 i.e. soon after Pakistan was carved out from India. Under the operation support was extended to raiders of Kashmir. The writer recounts the details of the conspiracy hatched in Lahore and Rawalpindi to capture Kashmir through brute force with the complete concurrence of the rulers in Pakistan. Major General (Retd) Akbar Khan was the member of Armed Forces Partition Sub-Committee in 1947 hence he had full idea that the total strength of Maharaja Hari Singh’s army was 9,000 only and out of these 2,000 were Muslims. Hence the effective strength against Pakistan’s invaders who were Muslims was only 7,000 and that too was posted at different places. Hence the most important thing was to choke the routes from where Indian army can enter Kashmir. Pakistan expected that as Kashmir had majority Muslim population it will be merged into Pakistan. They also threatened in case of necessity Pakistan will also use force to capture it. Akbar Khan mentions how Pakistan army together with tribal forces intruded in Kashmir and how they were also involved in loot, rape and mayhem. He also mentions that in September 1947 he was told to chalk out a plan so that Kashmir can be captured forcibly. At that time, he was serving as Director of Weapons and Equipment (DW&E) in GHQ hence he had complete details of the arms and ammunition available in Pakistan and how much can be spared for Kashmiri invaders. However, the problem was firstly most of the weapons were lying in Delhi and secondly officially the weapons had to come through British Commander-in-Chief, and he will never allow to distribute the weapons of Pakistan army to Kashmiri raiders. However, the author diverted 4000 rifles of Punjab police to Kashmiri raiders. Besides these rifles other weapons were taken from illegal weapon market of FATA area. The author also gives details of the condemned weapons were given to raiders of Kashmir. Lieutenant Colonel Masud of the Cavalry also agreed to give condemned ammunition to Zaman Kiani and Khurshid Anwar for distribution to raiders of Kashmir. Air Commodore Janjua gave winter clothing, ammunition and weapons from the stock of Air Force to Kashmir raiders. Kashmiri raiders included Pakistan army serving personnel also. Khwaja Abdul Rahim, Commissioner Rawalpindi collected weapons, ration, money and even volunteers for attacking Kashmir. Prime Minister Liaqat Ali imported Light Machine Guns from Italy. As trained army personnel were required Pakistan army enrolled Ex-Army officers of the I.N.A. (Indian National Army). The book also mentions that though the author captioned his plan as “Armed Revolt inside Kashmir” but makes it clear that “open interference or aggression by Pakistan was obviously undesirable”. Akbar Khan made 12 copies of his plan which included the distribution of the weapons to Kashmir invaders. He was called to Lahore where in a high-level meeting which was presided over by Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan and attended by Finance Minister Ghulam Mohammad (later Governor General), Mian Iftikharruddin, Zaman Kiani, Khurshid Anwar, Sardar Shaukat Hayat Khan. In the meeting, Akbar Khan’s plan how to conquer Kashmir was accepted. Sardar Shaukat Hayat was made the overall commander while Khurshid Anwar and Zaman Kiani were made commander of the northern and southern sectors respectively. After some time, Akbar Khan was made Military Adviser to Prime Minister so that he can devote full time in implementation of the plan to capture Kashmir. Major General Khan mentioned that Pakistani raiders crossed the border on 22 October 1947 and invaded Muzaffarabad and Domel on 24 October. The troops of Maharaja Hari Singh could not stop Pakistani troops which went ahead on Srinagar road and captured Uri. Baramula was captured on 26 October and the raiders butchered about 11,000 persons out of 14,000. The slaughtered people were mainly non-Muslims which indicates that it was religious cleansing. The Pakistani raiders were moving towards Srinagar but in the meantime Maharaja Hari Singh realised the worsening situation and signed the accession to India. Once he acceded to India, immediately Indian troops reached Kashmir. Prime Minister of Pakistan called an urgent meeting on 27 October to chalk out a plan in view of Kashmir’s accession to India and Indian troops reaching Kashmir. Akbar Khan was also called, and it was decided to attack Jammu and block the road so that Indian forces fail to send troops to Srinagar. The liquidation of Jammu became so important that even Jinnah came in the meeting of military top brass and instructed army to attack Jammu. When General Gracey the Britisher acting C-in-C of Pakistan army was told to attack Jammu he refused and mentioned that he will implement the order only after getting approval from Supreme Commander stationed in New Delhi. Akbar Khan went to Kashmir and found that Pakistani troops are just four miles away from Srinagar and also assessed the requirements of the Pakistan army and found that troops needed armoured cars. Khan went to Rawalpindi and met Colonel Masud who agreed to send the Pak army personnel in plain clothes with armoured cars to fight as tribal. Pak army personnel from Karachi were also ready to come and fight as civilians though reluctantly. However meanwhile Indian army came out of Srinagar and Pakistani forces and tribals retreated to Uri without much resistance and later refused to fight although Akbar Khan tried to persuade them to stay and struggle. The book also deals with several instances where Pakistan failed to take correct decisions because of over enthusiasm and desperation to capture Kashmir through force. The book also makes it clear that although Pakistan army personnel were involved in turmoil, pandemonium, loot and rape in Kashmir along with the tribal but Major General Khan had no repentance for it. It is good if the younger generation reads the book and understands that Pakistan is responsible for most of the problems Kashmir is facing today.

The war had started after the massive onslaught of Pakistani forces over Bangladeshi (then East Pakistan) civilians and the declaration of independence by Bengali secular nationalist leader Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman following his arrest on 25th March 1971 and subsequently forced 9 million people to flee to neighboring India which is the biggest event of exodus after the end of ww2. The civil war soon became a regional war as India and later the USSR supported Bangladeshi guerillas while China, the US and the whole Muslim world excluding Iraq supported and supplied weapons to the Pakistani government. India finally intervened militarily on 3 December 1971 and gained rapid victories with the help of Bangladeshi freedom fighters and civilians. At the last stage of war, the US even sent its nuclear-armed largest naval fleet to the Bay of Bengal to couner the Indo-Soviet alliance. The Soviets then sent their nuclear-armed submarines to deter the US military intervention till the capture of Dhaka, the capital then East Pakistan and main base of Pakistani forces, by Indian and Bangladeshi forces on 16th December 1971. It was later revealed that the US had supported Pakistan in the war because Nixon and his national security adviser Kissinger were keen to establish diplomatic relations with China through Pakistani president Yahya Khan, disregarding the opinions of State Department and protests of law makers and civilians at home.

The Brits favoured Pakistan! Unlike the PoK, Pakistan got possession of Gilgit-Baltistan area through the connivance of two British military officers. In 1935, the Gilgit agency was leased for 60 years by the British from the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir because of its strategic location on the northern borders of British India. It was administered by the political department in Delhi through a British officer. The region’s security was the responsibility of a military force called the Gilgit Scouts, which was officered by the British. With impending Independence, the British terminated the lease, and returned the region to the Maharaja on August 1, 1947. The Maharaja appointed Brigadier Ghansar Singh of the J&K state forces as governor of the region. Two officers of the Gilgit Scouts, Major W A Brown and Captain A S Mathieson, along with Subedar Major Babar Khan, a relative of the Mir of Hunza, were loaned to the Maharaja at Gilgit. But as soon as Maharaja Hari Singh acceded to India on October 31, 1947, Major Brown imprisoned Brigadier Ghansara Singh, and informed his erstwhile British Political Agent, Lt Colonel Roger Bacon, who was then at Peshawar, of the accession of Gilgit to Pakistan. On November 2, Major Brown officially raised the Pakistani flag at his headquarters, and claimed that he and Mathieson had opted for service with Pakistan when the Maharaja signed the Instrument of Accession in favour of India. Two weeks later, a nominee of the Pakistan government, Sardar Mohammed Alam, was appointed the Political Agent, and took possession of the territory. Pakistani army soldiers and tribals used it as a base to launch attacks on the other towns and cities of the region like Skardu, Dras, Kargil and Leh. On hearing of Brown’s coup in Gilgit, Sir George Cunningham, who had just been appointed governor of North-West Frontier Province, instructed him to restore order, giving Pakistan de facto control of the region. In the 1948 British gazette, the King-Emperor awarded the “Most Exalted Order of the British Empire to Brown, Major (acting) William Alexander, Special List (ex-Indian Army)”. In the 1970s, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto abrogated the State Subject Rule - the law that until then protected the local demographic composition - to facilitate Pakistani Sunnis to acquire land and settle there. This order damaged the social fabric and provoked sectarian feuds that continue to simmer until today. Later, anti-Shia forces sponsored by Gen Zia-ul-Haq set about altering the ethnic composition of the region; the number of Shias has since come down drastically. Shia-Sunni and Shia-Nurbakshi riots fomented by the Pakistani establishment caused extreme socio-political polarisation in Skardu in the early 1980s. A permanent trust deficit was created in May 1988 when tribal Lashkars, after receiving Zia’s nod, abducted local women and massacred thousands of Shias in Gilgit.

William Alexander Brown MBE (13 December 1922 - 5 December 1984) was a British military officer based in British-ruled India. He is best known for his actions during the Partition of India, when he assisted the locals of the Gilgit Agency and led a coup d'état against Hari Singh, the Maharaja of the erstwhile princely state of Jammu and Kashmir. The successful coup ultimately resulted in the Gilgit Agency (in today's Gilgit−Baltistan) becoming a part of Pakistani-administered Kashmir following the First Indo−Pakistani War. On 3 June 1947, control of the Gilgit Agency was transferred to the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir. The state's Maharaja, Hari Singh, appointed Brigadier Ghansar Singh to govern the area on his behalf. The Partition of India took place in August of that year, which divided the former British colony into a Hindu-majority India and a Muslim-majority Pakistan. On 22 October 1947, amidst Pakistani fears of the Maharaja potentially acceding his Muslim-majority princely state to India, state-backed Pashtun tribal militias from Pakistan invaded Jammu and Kashmir and attacked the Maharaja's state forces. As Pakistani militias closed in on the capital of Srinagar by 26 October, Hari Singh had fled from the princely state and signed an instrument of accession for Jammu and Kashmir with India. The decision by the Maharaja-a Hindu Dogra ruler governing a princely state with a Muslim-majority populace-to accede to a Hindu-majority India following the creation of Pakistan was seen as controversial. Dogra rule was unpopular and disliked in every part of the princely state outside of the Jammu region; Prem Nath Bazaz, a Kashmiri scholar, describes Dogra rule in his book as: "The Dogras have always considered Jammu as their home and Kashmir as the conquered country…[T]hey established a sort of Dogra imperialism in the State in which all non-Dogra communities and classes were given the humble place of inferiors…Dogra imperialism brought nothing but misery, thraldom, physical and mental deterioration in its wake…" On hearing of the decision, Brown urged Ghansar Singh to ascertain the wishes of the Gilgit Agency's Muslim community over the accession, and warned him that he may have to take certain measures to avoid large-scale bloodshed. Brown's view on the escalating Kashmir conflict was that the whole of the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, including Gilgit, should go to Pakistan in view of the fact that the state's population was predominantly Muslim, and that the foundation of Pakistan's existence was the accommodation of Muslim-majority regions in British India. Singh ignored the warning, prompting Brown to begin planning what became known as 'Operation Datta Khel'. Brown was well aware of the anti-Maharaja sentiments among the populace of the Gilgit Agency. On 31 October, the Gilgit Scouts, under the command of Brown, surrounded the Gilgit Residency and took Col. Ghansar Singh & Wazir-i-wazarat Sehdev Singh Chib along with their families and staff into protective custody. Brown then requested for troops to be sent to the Gilgit Agency from Pakistan and established a de facto military administration on 1 November. On assuming direct control of the region, Brown thwarted plans by a large section of his contingent to set up an independent republic called Gilgit−Astor. On 2 November, he hoisted the Pakistani flag over the capital residency and announced the accession of the Gilgit Agency to Pakistan. He was then instructed by Sir George Cunningham, the then-Governor of the North West Frontier Province to restore order in the region. On 16 November, the Pakistani government sent Muhammad Alam to take control of the region as a political agent and on 18 November, Gilgit and its neighbouring states signed a combined instrument of accession to Pakistan. Brown remained in command of the Gilgit Scouts until 12 January 1948, when he was replaced by Aslam Khan. Brown's actions were strongly condemned by the Indian government who regarded it as an unlawful and unpopular coup, whereas the Pakistani government hailed it claiming that Brown had the full support of the people. Brown himself acknowledged the severity of his actions when he later remarked, "my actions appeared to possess all the elements of high treason. Yet I knew in my own mind that what I had done was right." Brown is also credited to have saved the Hindu minority in Gilgit from being harmed during the war, taking personal risk in doing so. In 1998, Brown's diary from his time in Gilgit was published as a book titled The Gilgit Rebellion. The Government of Pakistan posthumously awarded the Sitara-i-Imtiaz to Brown in 1993.

[@commanderofkesariyaknights]

He got MBE for his role in gilgit and that Bazaz was an opportunistic kashmiri politician looking to take away the power from Dogra with the help of sheikh Abdullah and Abdullah's benefactor Nehru. This is why he was creating all these oppresive tales of Dogra rule while common people enjoyed best law and order and governance under Dogras. Dogras rightfully kept muslims in check in valley. And the Dogras are from Jammu and Himachal and save Jammu's demography in 1947 by pushing out muslims who supported raiders. This is why we see peace in Jammu. While the likes of opportunist Bazaz were thrown out from Kashmir valley in 1990 under non Dogra rule.

Maj. (Later retd as Lt. Col) Harichand’s mad dash from Manali to Leh with a small company of Gorkhas, from the 23rd of May ‘48 to the 5th of July, cutting through completely uncharted himalayan terrain, relying only on trails used by nomadic herders, arriving just in the nick of time to relieve an exhausted and undersupplied force of barely 30 men who were beseiged for months, deserves a movie of its own. The action earned the Major his first MVC (Maha Vir Chakra), India’s second highest gallantry award. When the pakistanis were bringing field guns to reduce Leh’s defences later in the summer, he & a small band of experienced raiders went on an 80 km trek, climbing solid rock faces in biting cold to achieve the element of surprise and outflank enemy positions, destroying the guns and killing enemy gunners, with the enemy commander barely escaping with his own life. Later he earned his second MVC for the defence of Chushul in Ladakh during the Chinese aggression of ‘62. I’ve never heard his exploits discussed. A sadly forgotten hero.

[@Char444]

It's just an extension of Jammu or western Jammu. Actual kashmiris always lived in the kashmir valley proper which is all in India. But since, Kashmiris never consented to the instrument of accession, I'd say India also occupied Kashmir.

[@Nmax]

The kingdom of Kashmir was freed from British rule. Pakistan tried to grab Kashmir in a surprise attack and committed countless atrocities. India stepped in and seized control of two thirds of Kashmir and beat the Pakistanis out. Indian Kashmir is prosperous and free today while the Pakistani occupied Kashmir is poor and oppressed by the Pakistani Army just like the rest of Pakistan

Can’t lie. It is very impressive what the Pashtun Tribal forces managed to achieve against a the professional Indian army (who had ww2 experience). These where mere tribesmen who held their own against a whole army. Hats off to them.

[@thelakeman2538]

Pashtun tribesmen routinely fought with colonial authorities as part of the so called "small wars" (66 of them between 1849-1908 alone) in Pashtun tribal areas of British India (particularly Waziristan and Tirah), many of them would've also served in the colonial army, so they were no rookies either.

@@dragonstormdipro1013 you are confusing the rebels of Poonch and Lashkars. The rebels of Poonch were former soldiers of British Indian Army who fought in WWII. The Lashkars were tribesmen of NWFP who were not employed or sent by British to fight in WWII.

Some information which will help you to understand the India's side on Kashmir. India under the British Raj consisted of two types of territory, British India and 550+ Princely states. British india was under the direct rule of the British crown and Princely states were in subsidiaries alliance with the British india. As per the Indian independence act of 1947 1) British announced the Division of British India into the Dominion of India and the Dominion of Pakistan. 2) The treaty relations between Britain and the Indian princely states would come to an end and Princely state would be free to accede to one or the other of the new dominions or stay independent But independence was never an option for the princely states as per the Mountbatten plan. 3) the Princely states who shared borders with both india and pakistan could only decide, whether they want to join either india or pakistan.That means Land locked princely states who shares borders with india couldn't join Pakistan and vice-versa 4) Legally , the rulers of the princely states (not the population) had the right to accede to india or pakistan or stay independent. Coz princely states were still the authoritarian states And as per the point no 4. Hindu Maharaja of princely state of Kashmir had the right to choose the fate of his state not the population of Kashmir.

There was no internal uprising in Kashmir. Had it been the case, there would have been multiple uprisings since 1947 as both India and Pakistan have fought 4 wars for the same.

Sad to say they are still there. I remember in high school reading old National Geographical Society the beauty of Kashmir and these articles were a few years before partition. "Kashmir in the Springtime" and Led Zeppelin brought the mystery of the place through music with the song, "Kashmir". In the end it is the average villager who's either Muslim or Hindu and a host of other minorities in a really beautiful place. An even scarier thought that they both have nuclear capabilities.

[@30ashvin]

Finally, Western historians are now able to recognise & accept the evidence of Pakistan complicity in the invasion on Jammu & Kashmir in spite of a Standstill agreement between the two. Having realised that the state of J&k was gavitating to join India, Pakistan pushed the so called tribesmen assisted by Pakistani army regulars to launch a pre emptive attack of the then independent state of J&K. Anyone opposing the attacker be Hindu or Muslim was subject to a horrific massacre until the state acceded to India & the Indian forces were on their way of repelling the attack in its entirety. Pakistan never adhered to its obligations of the UN resolution & continues to sit on occupied territory (which it calls Azad Kashmir) some of which it has even ceded illegally to China. Things are a lot different today. Peace & tranquillity has returned to Indian J&K and the region continues to grow & develop. The area of J&K under Pakistani occupation remains a cesspool & its only a matter of time when the people of that area will revolt in favour of re-uniting with their Indian brothers.

[@Rip-Tyro]

Although Pakistan was a majority Muslim area it was not meant to be a Muslim-only country. It was supposed to have a place for other religions. It was Pakistani first not Muslim first, but a series of military coups was able to make Pakistan an Islamic country.

I will never understand why youtubers urge viewers to click the "bell button". I don't believe any of you have considered the implications of it, as that feature can quickly become way more annoying than you think and actually drive away users that only clicked it because you told them so. It just defeats the purpose that bell was created for. If I ever get a notification that I myself have not specifically requested I am more likely to unsubscribe from that channel. I agree that maybe I am not the staple for this but that feature doesn't turn off unless you turn it off, so even if there is mild annoyance it will quickly compound over time. You are basically drawing lines in the sand between your die hard fans and those that are merely casual viewers. The only time it would make sense for you to remind someone to click the bell is when they wanted to do it but somehow forgot... If someone WANTS to see the videos every time you upload, they will actively seek the feature: you can't forget something you want, it will just pop up again in your mind next time. Reminding someone to click the reminder is just senseless.

The Indian and Pakistani armies at this point were not long ago apart of the same army with seemingly the same training and equipment. Yet it appears the Indians were better organized and employing better tactics.

[@shujah9746]

Both had British officers , the ones in the Indian side were doing their job and the ones in Pakistan didn't even let the army go in . Most of the fighting first was between Civilian Militia Muslims and the Maharaja Army who were promptly defeated and in the medium stage between the Same Militias and the Fully Organized modern Indian Army which just fought in WW2. Only when the militias fell too back after months of retreat against inevitable defeat did the Pak Army joined and we got a ceasefire and Line of control after that.

Agree with me or not, invading & demanding Kashmir is the only reason Pakistan 🇵🇰 is such a poor & backward country today. India 🇮🇳 & Pakistan 🇵🇰 both started their journey at the same time. In the beginning, Pakistan's population was very low. Then can develop themselves very fast as South Korea 🇰🇷, Japan 🇯🇵 did. But 24x7 only Kashmir & Kashmir. In Pakistan, if a politician talks about GDP growth, Per Capita Income, Development their citizens scratch their heads, nobody gets anything. But if somebody says 'We will bring Kashmir to Pakistan', that politician get all the votes. Pakistan thinks of Terrorism & Radicalism as 'Development'. As a result, today one country 🇮🇳 had entered Mars 🚀 another one is still trying to enter Kashmir!

You got your Muslim country then what happened in 1971 ? Who were your army raping & killing then ? Your own country men - Bengalis.. you took away the language, culture & literature of Bengalis by forcing Urdu down their throat - Bengalis were an intellectual class unlike your Jihadi mindset country.
