August 14, 1947: After independence from Britain, two independent states, Pakistan and India, came into existence. The states and princely states were given the power to decide to join any country according to the wishes of their people. Kashmir had a Muslim majority, but its Hindu king did not make any decision in time. October 1947: Tribal forces from Pakistan also joined the ongoing internal civil war in Kashmir. October 26, 1947: The Maharaja, seeking help from India, signed the document of accession of Kashmir to India, but this accession was conditional on the fact that as soon as the situation returned to normal, a plebiscite would be held in Kashmir.
October 27, 1947: India landed its troops in Srinagar by air to crush the rebellion in Kashmir, which resulted in the first war between Pakistan and India.
January 1, 1948: India sought help from the United Nations on the Kashmir issue. February 5, 1948: The United Nations, through a resolution, called for an immediate ceasefire so that a referendum could be held there. January 1, 1949: The United Nations, while declaring a ceasefire, obliged the armies of both countries to respect the ceasefire line and announced a referendum there.The Kashmir issue, the bone of contention between Pakistan and India, has held the Sub-Continent hostage since 1947.
The issue is also one of the oldest items on the agenda of the United Nations.
For Pakistan, the Kashmir issue is not a territorial problem; rather, it is a human issue, relating to more than 13 million Kashmiris. Owing to its human dimension, the issue warrants an early resolution, so that the Kashmiri people can breathe a sigh of relief.
Some people think of the Kashmir issue as a complex problem.
As a matter of fact, it is a simple issue, concerning the right of self-determination of the people of Jammu & Kashmir, as enshrined in the resolutions of the United Nations on Kashmir as well as other international declarations.
The Kashmiri people have to exercise their right to decide their fate as promised to them by India, Pakistan and the international community. Therefore, their participation in the process is a must. What is required is the will of the political leadership of the region. Genocide by India in occupied Kashmir has been going on for 76 years. Kashmir, which is considered a paradise, today no one is safe in Kashmir and Indian aggression is in full swing.

When India was partitioned, the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir was given the option to join either India or Pakistan; the Hindu ruler initially opted for independence but later acceded to India with military assistance against tribal invasion, leading to the conflict.
Both India and Pakistan consider Kashmir a core part of their national identity, with Pakistan viewing it as a Muslim majority territory that should be part of their nation.
The dispute is currently under UN Security Council purview, with resolutions calling for a plebiscite to determine the will of the Kashmiri people, which has not been implemented.
Both India and Pakistan maintain heavy military presence along the Line of Control (LoC) dividing the region, leading to frequent border skirmishes.
A significant movement within Kashmir seeks the right to self-determination, often leading to protests and militant activity. Remember this unresolved Kashmir issue remains a major obstacle to peaceful relations between India and Pakistan.
