In 1947 the British withdrew from India. The political visions of the Muslim League (a Muslim State in India
called Pakistan, with Punjab, Kashmir and Sindh
as core areas) and of the Indian National Congress (a Republic of India comprising of a multi-ethnic,
multi-religious, unpartitioned India) conflicted. Both the Muslim League and the Indian National Congress regarded India's 500+ princely
states as remnants of a feudal past. The Maharaja of Jammu & Kashmir (a Hindu) opted for the Republic of India,
much to the surprise of many of the Muslim inhabitants of Jammu and Kashmir, which made up the overwhelming majority
of the population. Indian-administrated Jammu & Kashmir became a state within the Republic of India, adopted a constitution (1957). Timeline : Jammu & Kashmir Historical Atlas : Jammu & Kashmir, British India, India, Pakistan Pages |
