Who is aggressor on PoJk in, 1947
Dr. P.P Singh9/4/2015 11:51:57 PM
When India got independence on 15 August 1947, India was having two sets of government. One British India and 550 Princely states of India and these 550 princely states in India signed the instrument of accession with Indian dominion in the same way as his highness Maharaja Hari Singh and Lord Mount Batten (before 14th of August 1947) The structure of both the instrument of accession was same because Maharaja Hari Singh was the only authority designated to decide about accession and he did so in favour of India.
Pakistan came into existence on the basis of two nation theory. The Muslim majority of state never agitated or raised any voice against accession to India dominion and not to Pakistan. But Sheikh Mohd. Abdullah while addressing a huge public gathering at Hazuri Bagh Srinagar on October 1947 said that he will never believe in two nation theory till the last drop of his blood.
Now after the formation of a separate nation called Pakistan Ali Mohd. Jinah who was very close to Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru hatched a conspiracy after calling heads of tribal communities from NWFP and decided to forcibly expel non Muslims from Pakistan because he realized that Pakistan has become an Islamic country and there is no place for non Muslim and thus inconivence with tribal heads moved forward with an idea to liberate Kashmir from India by sending invaders. Britishers (US and UK) were annoyed because of their quitting India. UK did no support India's claim in Security Council.
After August 1947 the mass infiltration of tribesmen drawn from distant areas of north east west frontier province of Pakistan coming regularly in motor trucks, using Manserah, Muzzafrabad road, Rawalakote town, Part of Tehsil Bagh and Kotli Mirpur town. These tribesmen were fully armed with upto date weapons, started attacking non Muslims killing them at liberty , looting their properties, setting on fire houses, taking away young girls and ladies.
This was not possible without the knowledge of the provincial Govt. of NWFP and Govt. of Pakistan. Maharaja Hari Singh after knowing that tribal men have launched a war against non Muslims he immediately ordered dispatch of state forces to repel the invaders attack. The state forces were inadequate to meet the aggression. However, the state forces killed many tribal's saved large number of people under their security coverage. Major Khajoor Singh Later L. Col. Khajoor a savior of poonch refugees shall be remembered in the years to come who saved more than 30000 refugees coming from Rawalakote areas. There was a huge loss of lives and properties in Kotli Mirpur and Muzzafrabad. Therefore a large influx of refugees from these areas entered Kashmir and Jammu province and were put in various camps in the state.
India made a strong protest and lodged complain with UNSC on 1948 that Pakistan be declared as an aggressor and areas under its illegal occupation be got vacated in the first instance-UK and US sided with Pakistan in UNSC. It did not bear any affect on Britishers because Britishers have different mindset after it retreated from India. UN did not do any thing to get the lands of J&K cleared of invaders and the Pakistan forces admittedly became part of the aggression on Indian state of J&K in may 1948.
Further Maharaja Hari Singh on 31 January 1948 wrote a letter to Sardar Vallab Bhai Patel home minister of India that India lost, Mangla, Ali beg Gurdwara, Deva batala, Mirpur Rojouri town a part of Chhamb, Nowshera, Jhangar areas to Pakistan even after two months of J&K accession to union of India.
It is also surprising that cease fire was formally declared by India on 1 January 1949 (one year after Indian lodged complaint against Pakistan to UNO)
The state of J&K was totally peaceful and people of this state were in no way associated with the disturbed conditions in the state. Maharaja Hari Singh on 26th October, 1947 finally made an instrument of accession with union of India and accession of the state was accepted by GOI on 27th of October 1947 and why there was delay in sending the central forces to repulse the invaders attacks on people of POJK and pushed them back to their earlier position. By the time Indian forces launched an offensive against tribal men, large area of POJK was under their seize. I think there was delebrate delay in combating the invaders. The ceasefire was declared much later.
Maharaja Hari Singh signed instrument on 26th October 1947, India govt accepted the Maharaja request to accession on 27th of October 1947. Pt J.L Nehru and Liyakat Ali Khan talked on J&K issue on 28th November 1947 on January 1st 1948 Pt. J.L Nehru stated to the press that India might sent troops into Pakistan unless Pakistan ceased to aid Muslim raiders. Then India complained against Pakistan in Security Council on 6th January 1948 Kashmir commission of UN proposed ceasefire on 13th of July 1948.
After the ceasefire, the basic resolution of August 13, 1948 of United Nations commission India and Pakistan was as under.
i) Responsibility for the security of the state of J&K rests with the Govt. of India
ii) The sovereignty of J&K Govt over the entire territory of the state should not be brought into question.
iii) There shall be no recognition of the so called Azad (free) Kashmir govt.
iv) The territory occupied by Pakistan shall not be consolidated to the disadvantage of the state of J&K
v) The administration of the evacuated areas in the north shall be reverted to the Govt. of J&K and its defense to the govt of India who will if necessary maintain garrisone for preventing the incursion of tribesmen.
vi) Plehscite proposals shall not be binding upon India if Pakistan does not inflemnt part I and II of the resolution of 13th of August 1948.
vii) Paksitan shall be excluded from all affairs of J&K in particular in the plehcite if one should be hold.
Neither govt of India nor the leaders of Kashmir had guts to launch an offensive against the invader to get the areas under pak seize vacated. So that large number of refugee could go back to their homeland . It was pak who first attacked India's Kashmir and several times asking for India's role in Bangladesh. how absurd this is 'Ulta chor kotwal ko dante'.
It is also very Rhetoric that Kashmiri are struggling for Azadi. Kashmir does not belong to only Muslims. It has Sikhs, Hindus, Christians, Bodhs why the demand for Azadi put fourth by only Muslim separatists and what kind of Azadi. Here the situation is different Pakistan sent tribesmen to expel non Muslim why? and Kashmiri which includes J&K is an integral part of India which Pakistan occupied by using force on peaceful living and unarmed people of POJK. It is highly deplorable and condemnable the hostile attitude of Pakistan since 1947 is nothing but apprehension that India may not take away POJK back and that is why Pakistan has started a guerilla war in Kashmir and frequently instigating its haunch men to raise the voice for Azadi what for? Are Kashmiri Muslims slave what sort of Azadi. People of J&K have always voted for a secular and democratic elected govt. but few people who are actually not representative of Kashmiri are always creating law and order situation in Kashmir and not letting the Kashmiri to live in peace and tranquility. If at all Kashmir issue is discussed anywhere on national or international platform. People of POJK (their representatives) must be included in the talk besides other stakeholders. They are settled in J&K of India. They have lot of complaints against Pak govt. and ask Pak to vacate POJK under their illegal occupation unconditionally because Pakistan is an aggressor not India.
