The Conflict in Kashmir
Instrument of Accession
The Instrument of Accession is a legal document executed by Maharaja Hari Singh, ruler of Jammu and Kashmir, on October 26th or 27th of 1947. It is unclear of when the document was actually signed and to this day, Pakistan, Kashmir, and India fight over it.
With the signing of this document, Maharaja Hari Singh agreed to accede to the Dominion of India, but Pakistan thought that Maharaja Hari Singh was forced into signing the document.

Pakistan's View Point
Pakistan maintains that the accession is fraudulent because of the Pakistan Trade Agreement with Kashmir.
In October, armed tribesmen from Pakistan invaded Kashmir, Maharaja Hari Singh, the ruler of Kashmir, signed a letter acceding to India. Kashmir gained India's military protection.
This begins the first, of many, wars between India and Pakistan over Kashmir.

Kashmir is the area that is on the line of Pakistan and India. Pakistan, India, and China all control a part of Kashmir. Kashmir didn’t pick either side, Pakistan or India, because the leader was Hindu but his population was mostly Muslim. When Pakistani forces stormed into Kashmir, the leader signed with India and India came in to help defend Kashmir. Pakistan says that the signage to India was fraudulent.
India Partition
Jinnah
Jinnah was a Muslim rights leader, thought that Pakistan is a smart idea, that is the only possible answer. He thought this because of the differences in religious philosophies, social customs, and literature.
He believes that Hindus and Muslims can not live in the same place, due to the majority and minority, and both be treated equal and fair.
This is the separation between India and Pakistan, this caused strife between the two major religious groups, Muslims and Hindus.
Nehru
Nehru was against the partition plan to make a Pakistan. He thought this because of all the different religions in India and their people are so varied throughout.
Hindus and Muslims would still have minority areas if separated, and other religions/cultures would not get the opportunity to be separate, thus remaining a minority.
If Pakistan was to be put into place, Hindus, who would get the larger area would not be affected economically, while Muslims would be affected greatly.
