Malay,
Your claim is partly true on the tribal invasion part, they freard for Hari's dicision which he conveniently kept delaying.
The invasion was a direct result of slamming down of a peacefull demonstration and killing of the leader by Hari's men.
This 'accident' was regarded as a proof of Hari's unwillingness and incompetancy to decide whats best for the Kashmiris.
Hari fled to India and sined the IoA 'illegally'.
What is IoA mate??
is it India? if so then how was it illegal?
I mean, its pretty simple what happened in Kashmir then,
Pakistan sent in troops as locals to overthrow and take Kashmir by force. King Hari Singh saw this invasion, and asked the Indian govt to help. Indian Govt said that it will help if he signed in with India, thus making the entire Kashmir a part of India, and by implication, Pakistan was thus attacking India.
India then rushed in the IA, and fought off the PA, till then PA had already taken 1/3rd of Kashmir. There was some law or something, i forget, cuz of which the IA didnt push PA backwards. So India got 2/3rd's of Kashmir which is now Indian Kashmir. And the rest 1/3'rd is Azad Kashmir.
So now if the King of a state signs it with India, how can it be illegal?
Who decides the legality? Just because the majority of people in Kashmir were Muslims does not mean that the king because he was Hindu does not have the right to join which ever block he wished. The stupidest thing that Nehru or whoever did at the time was agree to the plebicite, which Pakistan now demands everytime.
Anyways, it is commonly known that Hari Singh was not going to join either India or Pakistan. He wanted to remain independent. But the attack forced him to sign with India.
