Kashmir....A Heaven On Earth...just like any other true Indian ,it intrigues me as well...A special state(both politically and a-politically) occupying a place of enormous interest(and influence) in India's strategic arena .. So i thought to go into its history to explore it more..
It was just like other 565 princely states whose future was still to be decided (through instrument of ascension)..Ruled by a hindu maharaja Hari Singh having majority of muslims denizens..His desire was to rule it independently ,event dreamt of making it a switzerland of east! But notorious pakistan started injecting un stability in the kingdom by sending armed tribals(jihadist)..In the name of holy-war they started creating mass violence ...killed who so ever comes in path..hindu or muslims..childrens or womens..Maharaja Hari singh pleaded Indian govt. for military support..But for that he has to sign Instrument of ascension to India...And thus authorises govt of India to take over the valley and throw the notorious element away...A great secular leader and founder of National conference "Sheikh Abdullah" played a vital role in spreading pro India feeling among the natives...Kashmir was now legally a part of India...Now I don't want to comment here on Pandit Nehru's decision to seek United Nation for intervention in kashmir ,which was country's internal affair ...left it solely on reader to decide the validness and usefulness of the decision.
65 years has been passed now...But Condition is still the same..."State is now ruled "omar abdullah" who is the grandson of Sheikh abdullah...pakistan still injecting un-stability by violating ceasefire and sending so called jihadists...growing communal riots and anti nationalist feeling...and finally the prevailing curfew in the valley!
