Yeah, India attacked and occupied Hyderabad, Junagarh, Run of Kach and many other states who either wanted to stay independent or join Pakistan and then Pakistan had kept shut on Kashmir too?OK. It reads better.
When Pakistani tribal warriors invaded Kashmir, and failed to capture the capital because they stopped to rape and kill those they had come to rescue from the Hindus.
Well, obviously. If Liaqat Ali Khan had left it at that, and not organised a clandestine, Army-staffed and Army-equipped raid, there would have been no insertion of Indian troops, there would have been no violence in the Vale, Leh and Kargil would have gone to Pakistan, and, sooner or later, the Maharaja would have listened to his Pandit counsellors, and acceded to Pakistan.
The stupidest thing that Pakistan could do, she did.
How do you know? You knew him personally? What is your reason for saying that? Just the fact that he exercised his sovereign rights and did not immediately accede to Pakistan? Or just on general principles, since he was a Hindu?
