What about the million+ muslim kashmirs forced out from there homeland by the indian army.
I think you find that it was india that sent its forces into kashmir first which led to a response by pakistan.
Why does it "haunt" us ?......Where not the ones with a security force that numbers half a million+ pinned down in kashmir for the last so many decades.
NO my friend;
The Indian forces landed in Kashmir only after Raja Hari Singh signed instrument of accession.
And it was Pak's attempt to take Kashmir by force which made this happen.
Kashmir
In Kashmir, the Maharaja Hari Singh Bahadur (see
History of Kashmir to 1947) and his predominately Hindu administration refused to accede to India or Pakistan. Soon after the British granted independence to British India on August 14, 1947, Muslims in Gilit and parts of Ladakh revolted against Bahadur.
In October 1947, Muslims in western Kashmir set up an Azad (free) Kashmir government at Muzaffarabad and organized an army, which soon received supplies from Pakistan. Shortly thereafter,
several thousand tribesmen from Pakistan invaded Kashmir and headed toward Srinagar. Bahadur acceded his kingdom to India and asked for assistance. India sent in troops to protect the capital and fighting soon raged throughout Kashmir.
In May 1948, Pakistan sent in troops to defend Azad (free) Kashmir against efforts by the Indian army to conquer the territory.
Ultimately, both India and Pakistan appealed to the United Nations, a peacekeeping force was sent to the border, and on January 1, 1949, a cease fire linewas agreed to by both nations.
During the long and unsuccessful negotiations that followed, both India and Pakistan claimed that a plebiscite of the population should be held to determine the ultimate fate for Kashmir. Pakistan's position has been that Bahadur's accession to India is invalid, that Indian troops must be withdrawn, and that only then can an internationally conducted plebiscite be held. India has argued that all Pakistani troops must be withdrawn, including from Azad Kashmir, that the accession was legal, that Indian troops must stay to preserve order, and that only then can a plebiscite be held.
Neither Pakistan nor India have argued or behaved consistently in claiming these three princely states. India was successful in gaining control over Junagadh and Hyderbad, but could not prevent Pakistan from seizing large areas of Kashmir. As a result, the two nations continue to quarrel over who should have Kashmir.
