That was done in 1947, Kashmiris were given their right to stay independent, What happened?.... Why did Pakistani rulers try to annexe those rights.. Being their follower/representative, you cAn't say that. It was kashmir's head who joined India. Why don't Pakistani government/people stop talking about Kashmir... ideally they should have no interest in kashmir ... if at all Kashmiri people want freedom they will get it just like India/Pakistan, then only India got freedom from brutal british rulers...
