7 characters play a large part for Kashmir’s & Bharat’s sufferings.

Patriot Kak, Dumb Gandhi, Blind Sardar, Wicked Abdullah, Traitor Nehru, Cunning Mountbatten, Confused Hari Singh.

We forget that Jammu was Jambu, that gave its name to Jambudvipa, that became

the name of our entire land.
What began as Kasyapa-pur and Jambu, and is today a truncated Jammu and Kashmir, is thus at the very core of our civilisational identity.

#PanditRamchandraKak is long long forgotten hero, but it is time to recollect and also question Nehruvian

Kashmir history.

On his Jayanti, let us learn little more about the Prime Minister of J&K during 1945 to 1947 who was also an archaeologist and brought out many books including Ancient Monuments Of Kashmir in 1933.

Ramachandra Kak, being a Kashmiri Pandit knew well how SUFI's

had destroyed the Kashmiri Culture & Tradition.
But yet he decided & also asked Maharaja Hari Singh not to sign the accession treaty & asked him to wait for few years, than decide, Why?

The declaration by Sheikh Abdullah endorsing the Direct Action declared by Jinnah in 1946

and the resultant pogrom of Hindus in Punjab and Bengal had its effect in Kashmir too.

Whoever refused to accept the leadership of Abdullah was terrorised. Stones were thrown and even women weren't spared by Goons of Abdullah.
In 1946, Abdullah started Quit Kashmir Movement &

on May 15th, Abdullah was arrested.
Nehru came to Abdullahs Defence & Kak arrested Nehru on June 22nd.

(Nehru never forgot this & damaged Kak's life)

Kak was ill-disposed to the Indian National Congress because, in his view, it allied itself with Sheikh Abdullah and lent its

"great weight of authority" to his agitation against State govt. After Abdullah's arrest in 1946, Cong leaders are said to have sent telegrams to Kak as well as the Maharaja demanding Abdullah's release. Kak held that "highly coloured, inaccurate and vituperative statements"

were published by Congress, resolutions were passed against the Maharaja's government and commissions of enquiry appointed.

The Indian Communists were disgusting creatures even those days too, they wrote false stories about Maharaja and publishing it in international papers.

Both Kak & the Maharaja decided against acceding to the India in 1946, even before partition had been decided.

Kak, tried to meet Sardar Patel as he was the Interim Home Minister & Kak believed Sardar will understand the reality, but Sardar Patel as Loyal follower of Gandhi

who in turn, fanboy of Neru wanted Sheikh Abdullas release before meeting, Kak rejected this suggestion.

The entire Kashmir with Bharat meant Direct Access to Afghanistan, Iran and Middle East, British didn't want to give Bharat this fortune & these 2 chamchas Nehru, Gandhi

played to their tunes of supporting Sheikh Abdullah.
When Partition became imminent, Mountbatten visited Kashmir & pressurised Raja Hari Singh to go with Pakistan.
Accession to Pak did not appeal to the Maharaja. Kak's position was that "since Kashmir would not accede to Pak

it could not accede to India" (emphasis in the original). He advised the Maharaja that Kashmir should remain independent for at least a year, then Jinnah said he will give better offer for Kashmir, Kak rejected it as he was aware what Jihadis would do.
Few weeks after this,

out of pressure, on 11 August 1947, Maharaja Hari Singh dismissed Kak as PM and later was House Arrested for fraudulent activities.
In fact removal of Kak was preplanned…The move was after two weeks of departure of Gandhi & three days before birth of new State of Pakistan.

NC workers had celebrated on the day of removal of Kak . They had carried a coffin ( taboot) of Kak through the streets of Srinagar.

Post-dismissal from the post of premiership, Kak wanted to publish his book titled Freedom Struggle in Kashmir which was not published by any

publisher in India . His wife who was English lady named Margaret went to England with manuscripts of the book but the book could not be published till date . Had it been published it would have become rich source of information about that time’s developments of Kashmir.

(All these are noted in record by Former Jan Sangh founding member Balraj Madhok and in British Records).

After the tribal invasion in October, Sheikh Adbdullah was appointed as the Head of Emergency Administration in Srinagar, while the Maharaja had moved to Jammu.

Kak's detention was continued & was moved to the Badami Bagh.
When Kak's family raised the issue, Nehru said & I quote "This house arrest was continued by the State Government after Sheikh Abdullah’s release & till recently when he was taken away from his house and put under

closer confinement in a part of the Cantonment buildings in Srinagar. He is kept there now and I understand that he is living in comfort."

Gandhi & Nehru planned in such a way that the release of Sheikh Abdullah & arrest of Ramachandra Kak should coincide with

Independence/Partition as you view it.

Months later, under pressure from Sardar Patel, Kak was released and externed from the state in late 1948. Afterwards, Kak retired from public life.

Ramachandra Kak passed away on 10th February in 1983, 36 years after the humiliation.

Siddharth Kak (#@sidkakspeaks) of “Surabhi” is Ramachandra’s son.
