Transfer of forest land in Kashmir to Hindu pilgrims

Deny it all you want, Pakistan was created through a popular, democratic movement.

Pakistan was created through a segregated, popular, democratic movement. Put it rightly my friend. Its different. If it was popular then Pakistan would not have been created.:)

Unfortunately, no. But in all but 3 cases, the local rulers had the decency to sign over their states in accordance with the demographic realities and the will of the majority of the population. In two of the three exceptions (Hyderabad & Junagadh) India was all too happy to invade and hold a plebiscite so the will of the population could be carried out. Kashmir is pretty much the only princely state that was totally screwed over in the whole process.

Pakistan was too happy to recognize Junagadh as part of Pakistan when the sultan acceded, so when India recognizes Kashmir it became double standards. Kashmir problem started when Pakistan lost Junagadh and determined to take Kashmir in whatever way it can.

@janab-e-ali

Actually, in 1947, the Baloch tribes convened a grand jirga which ratified the state's accession to Pakistan.

So why are they having troubles now. Was jirgha democratically elected.

@janab-e-ali

All I said was that most Kashmiris wanted to join Pakistan in the past, and that Pakistan wasted several opportunities to take over Kashmir while public sentiment was still in their favor. I know how much you & your countrymen enjoy living in denial when it comes to Kashmir and just how much the Kashmiri people hate Indian occupation, so I can see why my statement has you foaming at the mouth in rage.

I believe Kashmiris are living in denial of a separate nation having to depend heavily on India or Pakistan. This is not going to happen sweet heart.
