now answer to the second question regarding maharaja of kashmir he was the oner of the land and he decided to join india........here i should remove one misconception that government is not the owner of the land its only to run the land ........sir u r saying that living in this age but the age of maharja was a totally different senerio......at his time the maharaja was the sole owner of the land and he could do anything to his land...........
third and most important.........it was the foolishness on our behalf .......we were hoping at the time of partition that the state of hyderabad would join pakistan ......hyderabad was a very big and fertile state..........it had hindu majority while the ruler was a muslim .....he first choosed to live independently and later joined pakistan but india saying that it had a hindu population attacked it ........ and thus we gained not a single state.................
these princly states were given an option that the maharaja/nawab/walee would decide the future of his state either to join india or pakistan please make it clear it was the ruler of these states who was given the option and not the ppl of his state

Well, Hyderabad did go to India (even if it was after a couple of years) and the first Governer general of India and ex Viceroy of British India - Lord Mountbatten said that the Nizam of Hyderabad must have kept the wishes of the people in mind before acession. I think the same must then be the case for Kashmir as well !
I wonder, how different things would have been had Jinnah lived another decade, Kashmir and Hyderabad were still ''in limbo'' until September 1948. But some things are just not meant to be !
