Why is India afraid of holding a plebiscite in Kashmir?

Question:

Kashmir !
Why is India afraid of holding a plebiscite in Kashmir?
By denying the Kashmiris the right to self determination and deploying its 8 lakh army there, isn't India occupying Kashmir by force?
To draw an analogy, the  state of Junagarh in gujarat, a princely state with hindu majority at  the time of partition was ruled by a muslim ruler who decided to accede  to pakistan but this did not go well with india and a plebiscite was  held and Junagarh became a part of india. So a hindu majority state with  a muslim ruler enjoys the right of self determination while as kashmir,  a muslim majority state was denied that right and occupied on the plea  that its Hindu raja acceded to india. If this is okk with you and you  are calling kashmir an integral part of India just because that deluded  Hari Singh signed a paper few decades back, then i think there is  certainy something wrong with your reasoning and rational thought  process. Just tell me if Junagarh was given the right to self  determination, why has kashmir been deprived of that right for 70 years  now. For GOD's sake why????

Answer:

I have visited Kashmir and interacted with people.

India is not afraid to hold plebiscite in Kashmir.

The premise of the question is wrong Kashmir has no right on plebiscite

it was and is an offer which was made to entire state of Jammu and Kashmir as it existed on and before 22 nd October 1947, the day Pakistan invaded independent and soveirgn state of Jammu and Kashmir recognised by Pakistan by signing a STANDSTILL agreement with the Maharaja of the state.

I have ANALYSED many discussion on the issue (which are available on YouTube ) involving Pakistani commentators and Kashmiri sympathisers arguing very passionately on the demand of Plebiscite and squarely blaming India and describe the Pakistani sponsored terrorism as freedom struggle .

I am always surprised by the lies propagated and partial explanation of UN resolution despite being aware that original documents are available on UNSC and UN website and can be downloaded by any one free of cost and their LIES will be exposed.

The lies and untruths taught to generations of Pakistani students were exposed by Prof. KK Aziz in his book murder of history.

Some truths which are not taught or discussed in Pakistan and ignored by Kashmiri separatist (despite being aware of Truth) in their enthusiasm to be on the right side of their masters in Pakistan are:

A. The division of India into Muslim majority Pakistan and India under India independence act was applicable to BRITISH INDIA. Not to principalities.

B. State of J & K was a principality where india independence act was not applicable.

C. Jinnah as Governor General of Pakistan signed STANDSTILL agreement recognising independent and soveirgn state of J & K.

D. Pakistan under command of Brig. Akbar Khan invaded independent & soveirgn state of J&K on 22nd Oct 1947.

E. The above fact was confirmed and is on record by PM of Pakistan Liaqat Ali Khan in Feb 1948 in front of UN fact finding mission when it visited Karachi .

F. As per India independence act the soveirgn had right to decide on accession to either domain but if the soveirgn belonged to community different from majority community of state the final decesion on accession was taken after conducting Plebiscite in state .

G. The maharaja signed accession document to India on 26 October 1947 in Srinagar.
H. India airlifted its forces to Srinagar on 27 October 1947.

H. The UN resolutions clearly said :

1. Pakistan is aggressor in state.

2. Issue is between State of J & K and India.

3. Pakistan has to vacate all occupied territory in state and handover the vacated territory to India.

4. India has to remove all its forces leaving aside enough to maintain law & order.

5.. India to conduct plebiscite in state.

I. Pakistan asked for time to vacate its occupation but it never complied .

J. As 1/3 state of J& K was under occupation of Pakistan and this was taken as noncompliance of conditions leading to plebiscite, hence India could never conduct plebiscite in state of J & K.

K. The state is defined as it existed on or before invasion of Pakistan on 22 nd October 1947. And includes present territory of POK, GIlgit, Baltistan , Jammu, Laddhak and Kashmir valley.

ADDENDUM:

I have seen many replies on this answer many of them have been down voted and in some my replies have been termed as insensitive and not understanding a Kashmiri view point , issues like AFSPA and human rights violation by security forces have been brought in which has compelled me to write this addendum . I would like to place few facts on records :

A. Historically The issue of state of. J & K has been confirmed in international forum as LEGAL issue between India and State of J & K.

B. This question of legality has its origin in the India Independence act where the decesion to merge with either India or Pakistan was given to Soveirgn of the state but if he belonged to different relegion than majority of population of state this accession was considered as PROVISIONAL and need to be confirmed by a PLEBISCITE in the state.

C. Again. It was in India Independence act that it was duty of dominion to which the state merged to get the PLEBISCITE conducted.

D. There was no third party or independent or international agencies role in the conduct of PLEBISCITE.

E. What happened in the state in 1947-48 has been explained in above answer.

F. It is a fact on records that after the UNSC resolution was passed PAKISTAN asked for time to vacate the occupied territory.

G. It is also a fact that in 1950 A DIXON plan was mooted which said the territory occupied by India to remain with India and territory occupied by Pakistan to remain in Pakistan and PLEBISCITE to be conducted only in KASHMIR valley .

H. As nothing was moving and Pakistan had no intention to vacate its occupation India started discussion on Completion of merger of India occupied territory Into Indian Union.

I. This discussion resulted in article 370 of induan constitution.

J. Under article 370 a constituent assembly was elected in the state in 1951 to finalise its constitution .

K. This constituent assembly passed a unanimous resolution in 1955 confirming the merger of State of Jammu and Kashmir with India.

L. There was always a silent minority in State which wished to merge with Pakistan.

M. But presence and popularity of leaders like sheikh abdullah always deterd them to come out in open.

N. Pakistan has always tried to to create and encourage separation in Kashmiri leadership.

O. The separatist leadership has failed to venture beyond Kashmir valley .

P. This leadership has forgotten that there is big Muslim majority in dustricts like Kargil, DODA, POONCH etc.

Q. Just understand the progress of separatist movement from talking about entire state of J & K to only talk about Kashmir Valley.

R. No militants, separatist, independence lover now talks about The entire state all only talk about Valley.

S. Legally they have no case as the dispute is between state of J & K and union of India and valley is just a small part of it.

T. They do not talk About POK or Gilgit or Baltistan and their status under India independence act and UN SC resolution.

U. If you listen carefully the present discourse by separatist has an undertone of idea that " Muslims cannot live as minority under a Hindu majority " and as valley is now 98% Muslim it has right to ask for accession"

V. And the discourse is emotional catering to the lowest possible denominator but it has no LEGAL or HISTORICAL validity.

W. Thee separatist leadership has copied the Palestenian protests and now days we see young boys on street pelting stones on slightest instigation the latest being in support of Zakir Naik.

X. The separatist leadership just like in Palestine in an effort to wean spotlight away from their insecurities and failure and incompetence has brainwashed a generation of youth on false promise of UMMAH, Independence, Etc. Which have no legal standing and no chance of achieving ever.

Y. I would like any Kashmiri to explain what Zakir Naik, Salafi or WAHABI system has in common with Kashmiriyat which ihas been exploited to the hilt.

Z. Will the adherence RISHI order and the great saints remain in Kashmir or in their enthusiasm to their narrow political goal they are ready to kill Kashmir as it existed since centuries.

AA. It is my opinion that Indian state has accommodated kasmiri dissident fir long and it is time for some plain speak and articulating the legal positions very clearly.

AB. Regarding AFSPA and human rights these separatist call their struggle JIHAD and in every language of the world JIHAD means WAR and a WAR is fought to win and nobody has human rights when in war.

AC. And ever side uses its best mind and tactics to win a war so nobody should grumble on AFSPA or human rights of terrorist or collateral damage if any from both the sides.

AD. And a question to separatist , independence supporters their supporters in India academia, NGO if it is JIHAD then fight FAIR and SQUARE and accept the results even defeat gracefully .

AE.Kindly do not hide behind Nivedita Menins, Arundhati Roys and other leftists of this world as they will ditch you as soon as they have another cause.
