How the PoK was formed! #history #india #upsc

After India and Pakistan became two separate entities in 1947, Jammu and Kashmir briefly chose to remain independent. The Muslim-majority state ruled by a Hindu King made it clear that it was not interested in taking sides. However, Pakistani tribals, primarily supported by the Pakistani Army, raided Jammu and Kashmir, thus forcing Raja Hari Singh to ask the Indian government for aid.

Jawaharlal Nehru agreed to help only if Jammu and Kashmir became a part of India, which it eventually did. The United States and the Soviet Union were convinced that Pakistan was the aggressor and sympathised with India.

However, the United Kingdom chose to side with Pakistan. The erstwhile colonial power's representative Lord Mountbatten convinced Prime Minister Nehru to take the matter to the United Nations. Nehru believed that the newly formed world body would weigh in on India's side and ensure that Pakistan vacated its aggression.

Therefore, On 30 December 1947, a formal reference was made to the Security Council through India's representative with the United Nations. The Government of India requested the Security Council, therefore, to ask the Government of Pakistan; to prevent Pakistan Government personnel, military and civil, participating in or assisting the invasion of J&K State; to call upon other Pakistan nationals to desist from taking any part in the fighting in the J&K State, 

However, the critics and the Opposition had questioned the move on several occasions, citing the need of approaching the global forum when the Indian Army was winning the battles. On the other hand, Nehru supporters said that Pakistan would have nonetheless taken the issue to court.

It's Gandhi who because of his personal decision forced Sarder Patel to not become the Prime Minister and gave it to Nehru. The person who lived a life of rich and is a coward anyway.
