Some Indian posters have posted here that it were the Pakistanis who invaded Indian Occupied Kashmir first. This is a lie and a farce that Indians have been propagating since long. Actually it were the Indians who invaded Indian Occupied Kashmir first. The Indian invasion was planned and executed in full knowledge of Hindu Indian leadership in the Indian government of the time. The invasion plan was hased out during the meetings between rulers of Alwar, Kapurthala and Patiala with Maharaja of Kashmir. The first of the these meetings was held in Mar 1947, which ultimately resulted in what was popularly known as the Sikh Plan. For the purpose of the invasion the forces of Alwar, Kapurthala, Patiala and Maharaja of Kashmir were to be used. The same forces were first also directly involved along with Hindu and Sikh marauders to conduct mass Muslim murders and ethnic cleansing of Muslims from Indian Punjab.
They initially planned to conduct mass killings of Muslims and later ethnically cleanse areas of Jammu where Muslims were in minority and then subsequently move to the valley. Between July and October 47, over 500,000 Muslims were thrown out of their homes in Jammu region, out of which over 250,000 thousand men, women and children were killed and about 300,000 were forced to immigrate to Pakistan. This was the first stage of the operation. When news of this massacres reached the Frontier Province, the Pathans came to safeguard the Muslims from hordes of marauding Sikhs and fundamentalist Hindus and Pakistan Army moved in later when Indian Army had already invaded IOK.
