Will be As an expression of solidarity with the courage of Kashmiris and their struggle for independence from Indian rule, the Pakistani nation has been celebrating Kashmir Solidarity Day on February 5 every year for decades. Here we will present some historical facts regarding the past, present and future of the State of Jammu and Kashmir and the Kashmir dispute.

History and geography:

The state of Jammu and Kashmir is spread over 84 major areas consisting of Kashmir Valley, Jammu, Kargil, Ladakh, Baltistan, Gilgit and Poonch and dozens of smaller regions covering an area of ​​84,471 square miles. The state is larger than the 140 member states of the United Nations in terms of population and 112 in terms of area. All of the above regions have their own history spanning thousands of years. Geologists say that the region was submerged in the sea 100 million years ago, but gradually the land of the region came into being and this process has passed 100 million years. When the history of thousands of years is studied, sometimes the state of Kashmir stretches from Delhi to Kabul, sometimes from Ladakh to the coast of Sindh to Karachi and sometimes dozens of small and big independent states are seen in the same state. The state we are talking about in today's world is the state of Jammu and Kashmir established on August 15, 1947 and the entire state has been declared disputed Kashmir in the United Nations.

 

Neighboring countries:

Established till August 15, 1947, the total area of ​​the State of Jammu and Kashmir is 84,471 square miles. The state covers the three mountain ranges of the world (Karakoram, Himalayas and Hindu Kush). It shares borders with five of the seven major nuclear powers, Pakistan, India, China, Russia (Tajikistan) and Afghanistan.

Parts of the state:

At present, the state of Jammu and Kashmir is divided into 4 parts which are under the control of 3 countries Pakistan, India and China. Pakistan has 28,000 square miles of Gilgit-Baltistan and about 4,500 square miles of Azad Kashmir, India has Kashmir Valley, Jammu and Kargil Ladakh and China has 10,000 square miles of Aqsa Chen. However, there is no population in the Chinese-controlled area, which is part of China's Muslim-majority province of Xinjiang. China snatched some territory from India in the 1963 war, while 1900 square miles was temporarily acquired from Pakistan on March 16, 1963 under the Pak-China agreement.

Kashmiris' misfortune begins:

The misfortune of the Kashmiris began with the Treaty of Amritsar on March 16, 1846, by which Gulab Singh bought the territory of Jammu and Kashmir and Hazara from the British for 7.5 million Nanakshahis and enslaved them, while occupying Gilgit-Baltistan, Kargil and Ladakh By establishing a strong and stable state, the Maharaja of Kashmir put an end to the persecution of Muslims because the ruling class was a minority while 85% of the population of the region was Muslim, so the rulers always felt threatened by the Muslims. The Maharaja made great efforts to keep the Muslims backward, which is why no significant voice was raised against the Dogra rulers after 1846 until 1931. Although more than half a dozen Muslim associations or parties had been formed during this period, the oppression of Dogra Muslims could not raise their heads due to persecution.

The beginning of the struggle:

When we look at the state of Jammu and Kashmir, we see political silence till 1924 under the Dogra rulers. This silence was broken in 1924 when the workers of the silk factories in Srinagar raised their voices against the atrocities committed against them and the whole state joined their voices and thus the whole state became a protest. The Dogras also tried to put an end to it by force. The movement was weakened for a while, but then the people of the state came to their senses and the spirit of freedom was strengthened.

Establishment of an independent government:

On October 24, 1947, the establishment of an independent government in present-day Azad Kashmir was announced, with Ghulam Nabi Gulgar as its first president. According to the Partition of India formula, the state of Jammu and Kashmir, being 85% Muslim, was to become part of Pakistan, but since the ruler was Dogra, he sought to make the state part of India or its sovereign status. The Muslims demanded that the state be made a part of Pakistan but Dogra continued to use delaying tactics. That is why with the establishment of an independent government in Azad Kashmir on October 24, 1947, the Mujahideen turned towards Srinagar and reached Srinagar. The Maharaja of Kashmir fled from the capital and fled to Jammu.

Indian occupation of Kashmir:

On October 26, 1947, the Maharaja of Kashmir not only sought military assistance from India but also sought accession to India. Since India was looking for an opportunity to occupy Kashmir, on October 27, 1947, Indian forces occupied Kashmir. Due to the wrong strategy of Pakistan, the Mujahideen had to evacuate a large area liberated and were forced to retreat. India had entered Kashmir with the promise that it would withdraw from Kashmir after the establishment of peace. Did not return to India.

Independence of Gilgit-Baltistan:

On the other hand, when Indian occupation took place in Srinagar and an independent government was established in Azad Kashmir, on November 1, 1947, there was an uprising in Gilgit. The Islamic Republic of Gilgit was founded with the arrest of Dogra Governor Ghansara Singh, while the war continued till 1948 in Baltistan and Wadi Greez (Tragbal, Qamari, Kalshai, Mani Marg) and other areas. Pakistan took control of it on November 16, 1947. After the British left the subcontinent, Kashmiris were liberated from Dogra, but a large part of the state of Jammu and Kashmir fell into Indian slavery. Since then, the Kashmir dispute has been wreaking havoc on the world, especially on South Asia.

 

Intact limb and aorta claim:

India has declared Occupied Kashmir as its integral part and has given it a special status under Article 370 of its Constitution while Pakistan established an independent state in Azad Kashmir in 1947 even though all the arrangements are with Pakistan. On the other hand, Gilgit-Baltistan was also administratively controlled in various ways and in 2009, under a reform package, Gilgit-Baltistan was also given a semi-state and semi-provincial style setup. India claims that the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India because the Maharaja of Kashmir has annexed it to India, while Pakistan claims that Kashmir is the lifeblood of Pakistan because Kashmir is a Muslim-majority state under the Partition of India formula. Is a part of pakistan and muslims here also want to join pakistan and in 1947 in muslim the representative body of muslims here “muslim conference” has passed a resolution to join pakistan, while the people of azad kashmir and gig It has attached itself to Pakistan by gaining independence under its own auspices and the independence movement is going on in occupied Kashmir, the main slogan of which is "What is the relationship with Pakistan ?, La ilaha illa Allah".

Kashmir dispute at UN:

On January 1, 1948, India went to the United Nations itself, on which the United Nations adopted a resolution on January 17, 1948, and on January 20, established the Pakistan-India Commission, in the light of its recommendations, on August 5, 1948 and January 1, 1949. According to the resolutions, the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir, spread over 84,471 square miles, is disputed, including all the parts that Pakistan, India and China have. The United Nations passed resolutions on April 17, 1948, August 13, 1948, January 5, 1949 and December 23, 1952 to give Kashmiris the right to vote. According to UN resolutions, the fate of Kashmiris will be decided by a UN-sponsored referendum, but India has deviated from international and local agreements. That is why unrest in the Indian-occupied state of Jammu and Kashmir began only after 1950. At different times, the war of independence was started in occupied Kashmir, but India backed the contractors of international justice. He temporarily tried to suppress the Kashmiris' independence movement. It is true that the United Nations made efforts to resolve the Kashmir dispute in the first nine years, but then the Kashmir dispute also fell victim to global politics. From 1948 to 1957, Russia remained neutral in the United Nations, but later on February 20, 1957 and June 22, 1962, it continued to veto UN resolutions on Kashmir and support India.

Kashmir dispute and Pak-India wars:

There have been wars between Pakistan and India from 1947 to 1948, 1965 and Kargil over the Kashmir dispute. Although the 1971 war was fought between the two countries, it was not directly related to the Kashmir dispute, but Kashmir was the main reason for India's intervention in East Pakistan. The situation is still that there could be a nuclear war between the two countries at any time. The struggle of Kashmiris for independence started in 1931 on the initiative of Majlis-e-Ahrar-e-Islam is still going on in stages.

 

February 5 Kashmir Solidarity Day:

Muslims around the world, especially in Pakistan, celebrate Kashmir Solidarity Day on February 5 and pledge their moral support for Kashmir's independence. This day is a public holiday in Pakistan and it started in 1990 with the appeal of Jamaat-e-Islami.
