  • Issue of Jammu and Kashmir State's Accession to India–A Debate Over
    Issue of Jammu and Kashmir State’s Accession to India–A Debate Over Delay Shailendra Singh Jamwal Abstract : Few disputes in the world would have caused so much of tension and blood-shed for so many years as that involving present position of Kashmir. Both, the poor nations of South Asian region from the day of independence are dissipating their limited resources on fruitless bloody endeavours. Despite fighting four bitter wars in last sixty-six years or so; now these nuclear nations are involved in the most bloody proxy war. As a result, both sides have lost thousands of innocent lives and rendered millions of people homeless. The core of the dispute which has plagued Indo-Pak relations and defies any solution to the imbroglio revolves around the issue of Jammu and Kashmir State’s accession to India. Key Words: Jammu and Kashmir, India Bill, All Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference, Kashmir Socialist Party, Maharaja of Kashmir. The modern State of Jammu and Kashmir came into being by the Treaty of Amritsar, concluded on March 16, 1846. Territorially, it was the largest princely state in India and its rulers enjoyed near despotic powers like rulers of the other princely states of India. The State of Jammu and Kashmir differed from other states of India in more than one way. To begin with, it had complete independence in the internal affairs and the British Indian Government had no control in administration of the state; secondly, initially no British Resident was appointed (till 1885). Geographically, the state was divided into four large provinces - Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh and Gilgit, while culturally, it is divided into six distinct sets of the people, each having Vidyasagar University Journal of History Vol.2 2013-14 104 Shailendra Singh Jamwal its rich language, customs, manners, avenues and each inhabiting a specific region in the state.

  • Conclusion: Afterword---A Clarion Call
    Conclusion: Afterword---A Clarion Call Tahir Abbas In the shadows of the Himalayas stands the forgotten struggle of Jammu and Kashmir (Kashmir for short), whose plight remains precarious as India tightens its grip, placing the future of the territory in even more uncertainty and insecurity. The region of Kashmir is one of the most contested in the world. However, the vast majority of commentators, analysts, and social thinkers in the West routinely omit a careful anal- ysis while those in the region face immense pressures on their freedom to report and write on the issue. For too many, the matter is a bilat- eral question between India and Pakistan when the reality is an urgent and necessary need for the self-determination of the people of Kashmir. In presenting some closing arguments to this vital collection of scholarly input on the topic of social and political life in Jammu and Kashmir, I outline some distinct sociological concerns. I also take this opportunity to issue a clarion call to activists, scholars, and thinkers to place the needs and wants of Kashmir first and foremost, even if either neighbor—India or Pakistan—remains somewhat limited in its perspectives, whether this is by design or an accident of history.

ABSTRACT THE HISTORY OF THE KASHMIR DISPUTE: AN ASPECT OF INDIA-PAKISTAN RELATIONS by Herbert Patrick Grant Fraser .A., University of British Columbia, 1963 i The purpose of this thesis is to study and analyse the development of the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan, the effect of their respective outlooks upon the various pro• posals for settlement brought forward by the United Nations or their own leaders, and the reasons for each subsequent failure to resolve the eighteen year deadlock. Twelve years ago, Michael Brecher concluded in The Struggle for Kashmir that both India and Pakistan had economic, strategic and political interests in the State; and of the three, those brought about by the two-nation theory and the conflicting religious and secular policies were deemed to be the most important.

  • Azad Kashmir
    Azad Kashmir The home of British Kashmiris Waving flags of their countries of origin by some members of diaspora (overseas) communities in public space is one of the most common and visible expressions of their ‘other’ or ‘homeland’ identity or identities. In Britain, the South Asian diaspora communities are usually perceived as Indian, Pakistani, (since 1971) Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans. However, there is another flag that is sometimes sighted on such public gatherings as Eid festivals, Pakistani/Indian Cricket Matches or political protests across Britain. 1 This is the official flag of the government of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. 'Azad Kashmir' is a part of the divided state of Jammu Kashmir. Its future is yet to be determined along with rest of the state. As explained below in detail, Azad Kashmir is administered by Pakistan but it is not part of Pakistan like Punjab, Sindh, Pakhtoon Khuwa and Baluchistan. However, as a result of the invasion of India and Pakistan to capture Kashmir in October 1947 and the subsequent involvement of United Nations, Pakistan is responsible for the development and service provision including passports for the people of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan, another part of Kashmir that is not part of, but is controlled by, Pakistan. Under the same UN resolutions India is responsible for the Indian controlled part of Kashmir. In all parts of the divided Kashmir there are political movements of different intensity striving for greater rights and autonomy, self-rule and/or independence. The focus of this chapter, however, is primarily on Azad Kashmir, the home of nearly a million strong British Kashmiri community.
