India has sought a solution to the problem in the UN Security Council, despite Sheikh Abdullah`s opposition. [Note 5] Following the establishment of the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan (UNCIP), the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 47 on 21 April 1948. The measure called for an immediate ceasefire and called on the Pakistani government to “ensure the withdrawal from jammu and Kashmir of pakistani tribes and nationals who do not normally reside there and who have entered the state for the purpose of struggle.” He also called on the Indian government to reduce its armed forces to a minimum strength, according to which the circumstances of holding a referendum “on the question of the state`s accession to India or Pakistan” should be implemented. However, we had to wait for 1. January 1949, until the armistice could come into effect, which was signed by General Douglas Gracey on behalf of Pakistan and General Roy Bucher on behalf of India. [75] However, India and Pakistan were unable to reach an agreement on a ceasefire due to differences over the interpretation of the procedure and the extent of demilitarization. A sticking point was whether the Azad Kashmiri army should be disbanded during the ceasefire phase or in the referendum phase. [76] In the deadliest incident since 2016, the separatist terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed (JEM) in Kashmir was responsible for a suicide attack on a military convoy that killed more than 40 Indian soldiers on February 14, 2019. [338] In retaliation, 26. February 2019 12 Indian Mirage 2000 fighter jets bombed a “terrorist camp” in Pakistani-controlled territory in Kashmir, killing about 350 JEM members. When India entered Pakistani airspace, the incidents exacerbated tensions between India and Pakistan, triggering the standoff between India and Pakistan in 2019.
[339] [340] [341] [342] [343] The Government of Pakistan considered that the State of Jammu and Kashmir had entered into a standstill agreement with Pakistan that prevented it from entering into agreements with other countries. It was also noted that the Maharaja no longer had the power to proceed with membership because his people had revolted and had to flee the capital. G. Noorani, The Kashmir Conflict: 1947-2012, vols. 1 & 2, etc. and A. G. Noorani, Article 370: A Constitutional History of Jammu and Kashmir, Oxford University Press, New Delhi, 2011. It is interesting to note that Mr.
Noorani devotes article 370 to Ms. Mridula Sarabhai. While researching IoA and declassified J&K-related files in the National Archives, I came across several files containing correspondence between Ms. Sarabhai and the Indian government, especially regarding women and children abducted after the subcontinent was divided. The indexes of the acts of the Ministries of State and interior from 1947 onwards contain references to several files attesting to the leading role he played in relief and rehabilitation efforts. This is a topic that other scientists can explore and highlight their contributions to alleviating the suffering of those most affected during the chaos caused by the division of the subcontinent. These documents are made available to researchers at the National Archives. In 2009, protests began against the alleged rape and murder of two young women in Shopian, southern Kashmir. Suspicions pointed to the police as the perpetrator. A judicial investigation by a retired Supreme Court official confirmed the suspicions, but a CBI investigation revised its conclusion. .
