The subcontinent was being divided in deference to the Two-Nation Theory, which demanded the carving out of a nation state comprising of the contiguous Muslim majority areas in the undivided India. Kashmir’s union with Pakistan, based on this criterion, was only too obvious.  In addition, there were compelling strategic compulsions recommending such a course.  Sources of three major rivers irrigating Pakistan - Indus, Jhelum and Chenab - lay in Kashmir.  Besides, the State’s entire outside communication passed through territory that was to constitute Pakistan: Road Pindi-Murree-Muzzaffarabad-Srinagar comprised one route, while Sialkot-Jammu-Banihal Pass-Srinagar constituted the other. The third route - a dirt track - passed through the Muslim-dominated district of Gurdaspur in Punjab, providing a minor link to Srinagar through the Pathankot railhead. It was certain that once Punjab was divided, Gurdaspur being a Muslim-dominated district of Punjab and contiguous to other Muslim majority areas, would form part of Pakistan. The design to forcibly wrest Kashmir began to unfold on August 16, 1947, with the announcement of the Radcliffe Boundary Award. The June 3, 1947 Partition Plan envisaged establishing boundary in Bengal, Assam, Sylhet and Punjab under the stewardship of Sir Cyril Radcliffe. When the Award was announced, it’s most controversial decision dealt with awarding the Gurdaspur District to India.

The fraudulent, forcible occupation and killing of more than 500,000 (five hundred thousand) innocent Kashmiris on November 05, 1947 in one day in Jammu by Brahmins- Hindu military could not deter the will of Kashmiris to achieve their birth right of freedom. Precisely, the Brahmins-Hindus' democracy is out to exterminate the Muslims in Kashmir and to change it to the Muslim minority state.  We have paid the price of losing more than 700,000 innocent Kashmiris (infants, children, males and females and elderly). Despite all these, with the grace of Almighty God, the Muslims are alive and determined to break the 'Shackles of Brahmins-Hindus' Slavery. As such, we would like to let the world know that we are strong-minded to live freely and not under the occupation of the Indian administration as we are not a part of India, never have been and will never be.
