Indian Government wanted to annex Kashmir by force with the help
of Military action as History proves several Muslim Nawab Estates annexed in
India by force after Military action. Though a treaty has been signed
between Government of India and British Government that the Princely estates
may accede to join either Pakistan or India or they opted to remain
independent.
Kashmir conflict started during the Partition of India in
1947-48. In 1947 several Muslim Nawab Estates forcibly annexed after
Military action over them and become part of India. Nawab Muhammad
Mahabat Khanji III who was the last ruling Nawab of Junagadh. He was in
favour to declare his Estate as the part of Pakistan and about to sign the
documents of incorporation. But Indian forces encircle the Muslim Nawab
Estate from three sides; finally Nawab fled to Pakistan along with his family
and took asylum there. After one year of occupation of Indian forces and
perpetual torture, cruelty killing the Muslims Indian Government held
referendum; asking people of state wanted Junagar be part of India.
There was no legal authenticity over the referendum as people may have cast
vote under pressure.
Nawab of Bengal was the part of East Pakistan and on its capital
Murshidabad Pak flag was hosted on every Government buildings for two days.
It becomes part of India on 17th August 1947 and all the previous flags
were brought down and tricolour hosted on every Government Buildings and Nawab
castle.
The Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir appealed for assistance to the
Governor-General Louis Mountbatten, fight with the Kabailies and signed an
agreement. Once the papers of accession to India were signed, Indian
soldiers entered Kashmir with orders to stop any further occupation, but they
were not allowed to expel anyone from the state. U.N. Plebiscite Commission to
organize a plebiscite to determine the will of the people.
Since then

Plebiscite nor they are given independence. Indian forces are committing
serious human rights violation on civilians. They are destroying modesty
of women in Kashmir. Brutality, torture and regular killing of youths are
the normal practice in Kashmir.

Indian security forces situation become worst.
This is first time since after independence
Kashmir remained close for more than 5 months.
In present turmoil at least 130 innocent Kashmiri citizens lost their
lives and more than 11000 injured.
Modi Administration could not handle the situation properly in
Kashmir and it is the total failure of Government.
Uncountable Kashmiri citizens have lost their lives due to torture and brutality of Indian forces. Now time has come to give a chance of Plebiscite to Kashmiri people and open a way for their independence.
