"Let's not use Pandits here?" For the record, there were no troops patrolling the streets of J&K till 1989. That's what caused the Pandit exodus in the first place.
Also it is a might Himalayan coincidence that the terrorism in Kashmir in 1989 began with the end of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and the Pak military tried to wrest Kashmir by sending terrorists into J&K.
And look it up. India signed a Standstill Agreement with Hyderabad and honoured it. It was the Nizam and his razakars who broke it.
As far as PoK is concerned, as Indians we are unaware if non Kashmiris have been settled there by Pak during its continued illegal occupation like the Chinese have settled Han people in Tibet.
There were troops there, plenty of references for it.
The Valley always had strife and had to be ruled by the federal government.
India locked up Sheikh Abdullah, exiled him and so on.
Nope India did not honour the standstill agreement, and nor did Hyderabad, but the point here is that the Indian military invaded after Patel's order.
No such a thing as "resettlement" and this lie has been debunked numerous times. If there was a huge demographic how comes the Indian occupied regions of Rajouri and Poonch have the same people as Azad Kashmir i.e. Pahari speaking?
I can trace my forefathers graves centuries. There's been no mass movement of people.
Anyway I'm not sure why you argue this point as you call for the removal of article 370, which could lead to non-Kashmiri (Dogra as also native) folk settling the Valley.
