History of Jammu and Kashmir

Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh are actually three distinct regions.  When India became independent, a large part of India got separated after the religion, which was named Pakistan.  At that time there were two parts of Pakistan, East Pakistan and West Pakistan.  East Pakistan split into Bangladesh in 1971.

At the time of Partition, Kashmir was attacked by the Pakistani army along with the tribes and occupied a large part of Jammu and Kashmir.  The Indian Army was giving a befitting reply to this invasion, but the Line of Control was born in the middle of a one-sided declaration of ceasefire by the immediate Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.  Since then Kashmir became a disputed region.

 Almost half of Jammu and Kashmir is still occupied by Pakistan.  This northern state of India has 3 regions - Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh.  Unfortunately, Indian politicians declared it a state without understanding the geographical location of the region, as all three regions were under the same king.  After the state was declared, it was named Jammu and Kashmir, in which Ladakh was considered part of Jammu.

Jammu Introduction: Jammu is called Duggar Pradesh according to Indian texts.  There are 10 districts in Jammu division.  Jammu, Samba, Katathu, Udhamp, Doda, Poonuch, Rajouri, Reasi, Ramban and KiKishtK.  The total area of ​​Jammu is 36,315 sq km.  Pakistan has an area of ​​about 13,297 sq km.  He was captured during the war of 1947–1948.  Jammu's Bhimbar, Kotli, Mirpur, Poonch Haveli, Bagh, SudhSud, Muzaffarabad, HattHat and Haveli districts are under the occupation of Pakistan.  Pakistan calls this occupied part of Jammu as 'Azad Kashmir' whereas it has divided parts of Kashmir into other parts.

 * Jammu and Kashmir was ruled by Dogra rulers in 1947.  After this, Maharaja Hari Singh signed the agreement for merger with the Indian Union on 26 October 1947.  The princely state of Jammu and Kashmir merged on 26 October 1947, about 2 months after the British moved to the new administrative system of the country.  That too when the princely state was attacked as a tribal by the Pakistani army and captured a considerable part of it.
