You assume that GoP will willingly cede azad kashmir and the newly named Gilgit-Baltistan province when evidence is to the contrary. From the beginning it was Pakistan that denied the independence option in the UN council resolution, not India. And when the JKLF which was leading the secular pro-Independence struggle was dominant in the 90s, it was Pakistani based pseudo-Islamic militant groups that assassinated most of their leaders along with pro-Indian Kashmiris.
India also shares much of the blame by its brutal policies in IOK.
In any case, even assuming all of what you say is correct, and I am not conceding anything, I want to look forward to the future.
If there is the possibility of resolving Kashmir according to a fair, trilaterally (Pak,India,UN) monitored Kashmiri plebiscite, then both India and Pakistan should honor it. It would finally solve the major hurdle in Pakistan/India relations and both countries will benefit from the resulting detente.
Of course, if they chose independence, it is quite likely that Kashmir will immediately become a proxy battleground like Afghanistan, but at least they will be nominally free. True freedom can also come in time.
