Well I think people really have to know Kashmir has no connection to India , it is like you have a helicopter and you take it a car mechanic for repair.
If a state is "Independent" state from British Raj, and after partician the logical thing to do is - ask the population their free will , where do you want to live like every one else ?
It is not rocket science. The whole problem escalated due to uncompromising attitude of Indian politicians since the issue began since 1947.
a) Indian Military went in against the will of people, no logic what so ever 1947 started the mess
b) It was ignored that culturally Kashmir has no connection to India
c) No Indian rivers originate from there that fuel India
d) On top of that constant use of Military to beat up people , you took a free group made them slaves and now you
won't let them go.
Three areas India droped in military
- Hydrabad state voted against Joining India , they wanted a new country (Their region was attacked)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyderabad_State (Operation POLO)
- Similarly , Kashmir was also military occupied which forced a conflict in Kashmir in 1947 (Local population demanded election did not agree )
- 1962 , India attacked and removed Portugal from India
Instigated war with China 63
Instigated war with Pakistan 65,71
Abuses under Operation POLO Hyderabad

Communal violence during and after the operation
There were reports of
looting,
mass murder and
rape of Muslims in reprisals by Hyderabadi Hindus and Indian Army soldiers. Jawaharlal Nehru appointed a mixed-faith committee led by
Pandit Sunderlal to investigate the situation.
The findings of the report (Pandit Sunderlal Committee Report) were not disclosed until 2013 when they were made available at the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library in New Delhi.
The Committee concluded that while Muslims villagers were disarmed by the Indian Army, Hindus were often left with their weapons. The violence was carried out by Hindu residents, with the army sometimes indifferent, and sometimes participating in the atrocities.:11 The Committee stated that large-scale violence against Muslims occurred in Marathwada and Telangana areas. It also concluded: "At a number of places members of the armed forces brought out Muslim adult males from villages and towns and massacred them in cold blood." The Committee generally credited the military officers with good conduct but stated that soldiers acted out of bigotry.:11 The official "very conservative estimate" was that 27,000 to 40,000 died "during and after the police action." Other scholars have put the figure at 200,000, or even higher.
Patel reacted angrily to the report and disowned its conclusions. He stated that the terms of reference were flawed because they only covered the part during and after the operation. He also cast aspersions on the motives and standing of the committee. These objections are regarded by Noorani as disingenuous because the commission was an official one, and it was critical of the Razakars as well.
According to Mohammed Hyder, the tragic consequences of the Indian operation were largely preventable. He faulted that the Indian army in neither restoring local administration, nor setting up their own military administration. As a result, the anarchy led to several thousand "thugs", from the camps set up across the border, filling the vacuum. He stated "Thousands of families were broken up, children separated from their parents and wives, from their husbands. Women and girls were hunted down and raped."
Indian politicians , from 1947 had one mind set "CONTROL" maximum Territory - they ignored the idealogy of letting certain regions become independent (i.e they failed to respect these group) by means of military operations they continued their aggression.
This is why we have a problem today - had they simply had the "PASSIVE" mindset of respecting wish of people by mean of political vote in 1947 we would not have such issues
People would have been free / independent regions and we would not be chasing shadows
