...Pakistan agreed to discuss a plebiscite, subject to the withdrawal of the Indian troops, India rejected Pakistans proposal...
My hairy balls.
India agreed to UN supervised plebiscite, not once, not twice, but thrice.
First proposal was made by Mountbatten, on 1 Nov, 1947, and was promptly rejected by Jinnah.
Later, at the request of Pakistan, India accepted UN supervised plebiscite on 8 March 1948, at UN Meeting #264.
At an informal consultation between the two delegations, with the then President in the chair, he asked that I should communicate with my Government to get this plebiscite postponed, pending the consideration of this matter by the Security Council.
[...] I suggested to my Government that the plebiscite should be postponed, if possible. The Government of India explored the possibility of complying with this request, but came to the conclusion that the arrangements for the holding of the plebiscite had advanced so far that if the taking of it was suspended, it might produce an amount of administrative upset and inconvenience a large number of voters and staff employed on the taking of this plebiscite which, if possible, should be avoided. The Government of India therefore came to the conclusion that while the plebiscite might go forward as planned, if the Security Council came to the conclusion here that the plebiscite need not be accepted, but that another plebiscite should be taken on the same issue under auspices, circumstances and conditions which it might decide on, the Government of India would itself have no objection to the taking of such a fresh plebiscite.
And then, again, on 7 May 1948 at UN Meeting #290
If, after going into this matter carefully, the Security Council should finally decide that another plebiscite should be taken, India will not say no. By all means, let the Council go ahead and take as many plebiscites as it likes if that is what it wants to do, but the result in every case would be exactly the same.
UN simply dropped Junagadh from their agenda.
..pointing to Indias lack of confidence in the will of the people of Junagadh for accession to India.
My hairy @ss.
At this particular plebiscite which was taken, the number of voters on the roll was 200,569, of whom there were 21,606 Muslims and 178,963 non-Muslims. The number of voters who polled was 190,870, of whom the number for India was 190,779 and the number for Pakistan was 91. The number of those who did not vote or go to the polls was 9,699. Even if all these 9,699 who did not vote and the 91 who voted for Pakistan were Muslims, it has to be recognized that 11,907 Muslims recorded their votes at this plebiscite, and as many as 11,816 of them voted for India.
