"BORN FREEDOM FIGHTERS"
India got two UN Security Council resolutions reiterating Kashmiri’s right of self-determination vetoed by the former Soviet Union in 1957 and 1962. Indo-Pak talks held in 1963-64 under US, UK auspices also failed to bear any fruit mainly due to unfair intransigent attitude specially that of India. Again in 1965 India and Pakistan waged a war which followed the armed people from Azad Kashmir and Pakistan entering Indian occupied Kashmir, could not also solve the issue. The Simla Agreement of 1972 between Indian and Pakistan which provided for ‘final settlement’ of the problem concerning the future of Jammu Kashmir State also failed to bear any fruitful results. And though the Kashmir issue went into cold storage after Indo-Pak War in 1971,.
Background of Kashmir Issue
From 1846 to 1847, Kashmir was one and
the largest of over 500 semi-independent princely states of what was
then called the Indian Sub-Continent. These princely states which were
under overall British suzerainty covered only a fraction of the Land and
the population of the Sub-Continent. The rest, called British India,
was under direct rule of the British.
Towards the end of the first quarter of the present century, both the main political parties
of the sub-continent, Indian National Congress and All India Muslim
league had accelerated the struggle for freedom of the subcontinent. The
Second World War further strengthened their movement and the British
had to pledge them freedom after the war. The war ended in 1945 and by
the end of 1946 it was clear that British Indian would be divided into
two independent states. One confirmed by the declaration
made by the British government on June 3, 1947 and on August 14 and 15,
1947 respectively came into existence two independent states of
Pakistan and India, Pakistan comprising of the Muslim majority and India
of non-Muslim majority areas of British India.
Although the ruler of Kashmir
was Hindu but 77 % of its population was Muslim. Moreover the State was
geographically far more contiguous with and economically far more
dependent on Pakistan than on India hence Kashmir had, in principle, to
choose only between complete independence and joining Pakistan. There
was no justification whatsoever for Kashmir becoming part of India.
Since the ruler was Hindu, he would not like to make his State part of
Muslim Pakistan where his own position would be unsafe. So he was
seriously thinking of declaring full independence for the State. His
Prime Minister, Pundit Ram Chand
Kak, the first local Prime Minister from a well known Hindu family,
fully supported him in his plans. But the Indian leaders had different
and nefarious intentions. They wanted to grab Kashmir by hook or by crook and started adopting most unfair and conspiratory means to achieve their e nd.
They got the Prime Minister of the State dismissed only four days before the expected declaration of
independence. Some very shortsighted Kashmiri leaders especially Late
Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad were also instrumental in removal of Premier Kak
who was replaced firstly by a staunch pro-Indian general and
subsequently by Justice M. C. Mahajin. Mahajin, as a member of the
Boundary Commission had earlier got, most dishonestly and with the help
of its chief Red-Cliff, a large area of the Punjab with Muslim majority
(which should have gone to Pakistan) included into Indian territory to
create a road-link between Kashmir and India. When these activities of
their own ruler and Indian leaders came to the knowledge of Kashmiri
Muslims especially of the militant tribes of what is now called Azad
Kashmir, they rose in revolt against the ruler. In the mean time armed
tribesman from Pakistan’s tribal areas also entered Kashmir.
The ruler left his summer
capital (Srinagar) and fled to Jammu, the winter capital. Pakistani
tribesmen were knocking at the very door of Srinagar when the ruler made
a request to India for military help which India preconditioned with
Kashmir formally joining Indian which the ruler had to do under duress.
But before his instrument of accession
reached Indian capital, Indian leaders had already dispatched their
armed forces to Kashmir by air which captured Srinagar airport just
before it was to fall to Pakistani tribesmen. The first Indian
contingent advancing towards areas under occupation of the tribesmen was
routed but Indians started having an upper hand over tribesmen once
they settled down. After some time Pakistan sent its regular armed
forces to Kashmir to check fast advance of Indian force. Most of the
tribesmen had got involved in loot and plunder hence lost the sympathies
and support of the local population.
In the meantime India took the
issue to the United Nations whose Security Council, after hearing the
representatives of Indian and Pakistan, appointed a commission, the UN
Commission for India and Pakistan (UNCIP) to deal with and settle the
issue. The Commission after detailed negotiations with
the governments of India and Pakistan, adopted two resolutions (of Aug.
13, 1948 and Jan. 5, 1949) which were agreed to and signed by
representatives of both the countries. These resolutions provided for
cease-fire in Kashmir and its demiliterisation followed by a plebiscite
in the whole of Kashmir under UN supervision to determine the future of
the State. Cease-fire came into effect on the first of Jan. 1949 but
demiliterisation could not be brought about mainly due to wrong
interpretations of the UNCIP resolutions by India. A number of UN
representatives, sent one after the other, also failed to persuade India
to see reasons. Pakistan also committed some follies. After 1957
Indian, started flatly refusing to implement UNCIP resolutions claiming
that Kashmir was her integral and constitutional part.

Kashmiri people rose themselves
into revolt in 1988 and started armed struggle to liberate their
motherland to make it an independent and sovereign State with a
democratic, federal and non-communal State-Craft. For the last two
decades Kashmiris are facing unabated human rights violations
at the hands of Indian armed forces. Nevertheless the armed struggle
and the unparallel sacrifices by Kashmiri for the last over 20 years
have pushed Kashmiris to the front row from oblivion, as the most important party to the issue which can no more be ignored.
