sorry for my Buddy's poor knowledge about Pakistan, he dsnt know Pakistan dsnt have Kashmir ,he dsnt know the so called azad Kashmir is not Kashmir.
by naming batinda as London dsnt make batinda London.
Pakistan presently has in its control over a third of the former princely state of Jammu and Kashmir. The entire state is called Kashmir for short just as Bosnia and Herzegovinia is called Bosnia for short. Although they are two different regions.
Jammu and Kashmir is and was a geographically and ethnically diverse area. Before its division in 1948 Indo-Pak war it was composed of three provinces [in order from smallest to largest area-wise]: Kashmir, Jammu and Ladakh.
The ethnic Kashmiris were and are mainly concentrated in the Vale of Kashmir in the Kashmir province but could also be found in the neighbouring provinces of Jammu and Ladakh. But Gujjars and Bakerwals were and are also found in heavy concentration in the Kashmir Valley.
The population of Jammu Province was a mix mash of Dogris, Paharis, Gujjars and Bakerwals. Their culture is related to the Punjab area of India/Pakistan though I think the Gujjars speak a Rajasthani language called Gojri.
And Ladakh Province had Shina, Balti and Ladakhi ethnicities mainly. This part of the state was linguistically and ethnically related to neighbouring Tibet.
After the 1948 Indo-Pak war, Pakistan gained control over a large portion of Jammu Province as well as Ladakh Province.
Azad Kashmir was mainly old Jammu Province (Poonch distict of Jammu province was split in half between Pakistani and Indian controlled parts of Kashmir) and the Northern Areas (now called Gilgit-Baltistan) was mainly old Ladakh Province added to the Gilgit agency and the Hunza-Nagyr principalities.
I am not sure if Muzaffarabad Division was part of the old Kashmir Province or the old Jammu Province of the old state.
Both Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas retain ethnic and familial links across the LOC. There are thousands of Muslim families in Poonch and Mirpur divisions who have relatives in the Indian occupied portion of Jammu and there are also numerous families in the Northern Areas, in particular in Skardu, who have relatives in the Indian occupied portion of Ladakh, mainly Kargil.
The Vale of Kashmir however is under Indian occupation. But even this region retains familial links to the Muzaffarabad/Neelum Valley/Jhelum Valley area of Azad Kashmir.
Muzaffarabad area is mostly Pahari, Potohari and Gojri speaking but also has a substantial number of Kashmiri speaking locals. There are some Kashmiri speaking areas in the Neelum Valley as well as in Jhelum Valley of Muzaffarabad Division of Azad Kashmir.
Azad Kashmir also has some Kashmiri Pandit heritage sites such as Sharda in the Neelam Valley, close to the LOC. I believe the Sharda script of Kashmir originated from there. The Kashmiri Pandit community has often asked the Pakistani government to let them visit the Sharda temple in Azad Kashmir.
Fortunately the Pandit community has not been allowed to enter Azad Kashmir, otherwise they may try changing the local Muslim demographics!!
