(1/1)Mountbatten was the first person to raise the issue of the future of the state of J&K,He told Hari Singh that he should not declare independence but to send representatives to either of the constituent assemblies before Aug14 #Kashmir

(1/2)Hari Singh decided not to declare independence and enter into “standstill” agreement with both the new States,He signed the agreement with Pakistan and avoided discussion on the same with India. #KashmirHamaraHai

(1/3)Sheikh Abdullah was the founding leader of J&K National Conference,Interestingly his father was a hindu converted to Islam,Abdullah agitated against the rule of the Hari Singh and urged self-rule for Kashmir #Kashmiris

(1/4)He was arrested by Singh in 15 May,1946 and released on Sept 29, 1947, after Nehru’s Intervened,Abdullah was a secularist,He rejected the proposal of Jinnah asking him to support merger of Kashmir with Pakistan #KashmirMeinTiranga

(1/5) To Nehru, Sheikh Abdullah was Kashmir.He clearly brought out that “National Conference has stood for and still stands for Kashmir joining the constituent assembly of India” #Kashmir

(1/6)On Oct 22,1947 observing Kashmir’s uncertainty Pakistan broke its standstill agreement with Kashmir,Pakistan first blocked the supplies of essentials (food, petrol and clothing) to the state and sent tribal raiders to take control of the state #KashmirMeinTiranga

(1/7)On Oct 26,1947 as the fear of losing his state to raiders gripped the Maharaja,he signed the Instrument of Accession and left for safety to Jammu.India accepted the Instrument of Accession,Now Kashmir was officially India’s part #KashmirMeriJaan

(1/8) Now, It was India’s turn to send Army Aid to Kashmir but Mountbatten clearified that “as soon as invaders are thrown out and law & order reinstated, we will have plebiscite” #Kashmirstory

(1/9) On 27 Oct,1947 Finally,Troops reached Kashmir and repulsed invaders,sheikh and his party National Conference helped Indian Army during operation #KashmirLooksAhead

(1/10) Jinnah ordered Pak Army to join invaders but Pak Army denied saying kashmir is now India’s state and we also cannot attack our own people as both armies have British shoulders with common Commander-in-Cheif General Auchinlake #KashmirIsOurWeAreKashmir

(1/11) With no other option left Jinnah invited Mountbatten & Nehru for meeting over kashmir issue, Patel opposed it saying Jinnah should visit Delhi, Nehru wanted to attend but he was not well #KashmirMeriJaan

(1/12) At end on Nov 1,1947 Mountbatten alone went to Pakistan,Jinnah denounce India for using force to occupy kashmir, he convinced Mountbatten that if India demilitarise he would also call-off aggression #Kashmiris

(1/13) India expected Britain to use its influence on Pakistan to call off aggression in J&K, but Clement Attlee, PM of UK, refused to intervene and suggested Nehru to rely on “proper channel” of the United Nation, Mountbatten also suggested same to Nehru #kashmirIssue

(1/14) On Nov 2,1947 Nehru publicly announced on All India Radio that “When Peace, law & order will establish in kashmir,we will have plebiscite under UN supervision” #kashmir

(1/15)On 1 Jan,1948 India lodged a formal complaint to the UN,demanding directions to Pakistan to deny to invaders use of its territory,desist frm extending military & othr support and prevent Pakistan military and civil personnel from taking part in invasion of Kashmir #Kashmir

(1/16)Nw wht happened nxt ws a betrayal to Nehru,In UNSC Britain&America started pursue thr political interests&bypass India’s appeal infact thy also rejected India’s Pakistani Invaders claim stating Pakistan gave no support to invaders,India objected bt nothing cud hv changed nw

(1/17)Fighting with invaders increased Abdullah & National Conference influence on Kashmir hence Hari Singh had to appointed Abdullah as Kashmir Prime Minister #Kashmir

(1/18)On other hand on 13 Aug,1948 UN proposed ceasefire to both the countries and than finally on 1 Jan,1949 ceasefire implemented in both countries #KashmirLooksAhead

(1/19)When ceasefire implemented Pakistani army was still in Kashmir occupying some part of Kashmir today we call it POK,the areas remained with India is called IOK by Pakistan and that ceasefire line is now LOC but since then war is still ON

(1/20)None of us cn understand what went through with Nehru,his pressure,Nehru was Kashmiri pandit himself,He wanted internationally accepted, Legal,Strong & Permanent solution for Kashmir hence approached UN,

(1/21)Now it’s easy to say Nehru shud hv done this or that,I feel pity on people’s intelligence who ques Nehru decisions nowadays @Nehr_who @RoflGandhi_ @ShashiTharoor @Ram_Guha @ReallySwara @RahulGandhi @INCIndia
