Sameer Joshi I am from Pakistan,what u wrote is true and it seems u have read history from unbaised sources. What Jinnah wanted was separate electrolate, he played the card for separate land if demands not met! Nehru(wanting to be a dynasty and u can see till today) and Gandhi takin religion into politics,made it possible that muslim league was atrue representative of muslims! and what happened next was division. Jinnah was a secular person(even he wasnt a saint)and no one wanted separation(read S M Seervai a lawyer of india) book apart from Nehru whjo just wanted all! Regarding kashmir,what the writer wrote is such a bullshit that it made me laugh!95% population in 1947 wanted top go india? would u believe it? and Hari Singh signs the accession with india and next day troops are in valley such great performance,it meant india was ready!!and pak sent troops and mujahids meant pak govt was so organised! its a hotch potch of politics!u rightly said abt Nizam, there was on Junagadh whos nizam went for pakistan with 95% hindu population!both of these places rule of raja wasnt applied just kashmir was the place where rule of raja was applied!Ferozpur had 97% muslim population and biggest cantonment,was given to india!!!which made it possible for indian troops movement into kashmir,all routes to kashmir by road were from pak side!india cud only airlift troops!now tell me whos gonna buy the story? LEGALLY india part? its not its still disputed in UN
