New Delhi, India: IR Summary/GBA - Dr. Raj Baldev, Cosmo Theorist, GBA President, who assailed the statement on Kashmir by Arundhati Roy with historical tracing in his article “Kashmir is Integral Part of India- Cosmo Theorist Dr. Raj Baldev, Traces History,” on Tuesday, doesn’t mean that Ms. Roy has committed some act of treason? Kashmir has many mysteries, one of them is that Mountbatten had persuaded Nehru that Kashmir should go to Pakistan?

Cosmo Theorist Dr. Raj Baldev simply gave the background of the Kashmir issue, retracing its history how the things developed and how Kashmir is an integral part of India. Circumstances given by him does not mean Kashmir becomes the integral part of India, and it is up to the reader how one is convinced? That’s what he said,”

Dr. Raj Baldev, Cosmo Theorist sheds further light on the background of Kashmir issue in terms of Roy’s statement:

“I can’t press any reader to accept that Kashmir is the integral part of India, it is up to them whether they accept my argument or not,” Dr. Raj Baldev, Cosmo Theorist, said.

GBA President Dr. Raj Baldev, said, “To think of a charge of arresting Roy on charges of sedition by the Ministry officials is an illegal act on democracy of which we make a tall claim.

Arundhati Roy is a writer and even if she had not been a writer, but an ordinary person, still she could express her opinion freely for topic which is an international dispute.”

Roy has not said something which was totally against India, she issued a statement on a disputed issue, which she should have avoided, but since it is an international dispute, everyone has one’s own viewpoint.

It is simply India’s claim that Kashmir is an integral part of India, which is not yet internationally settled finally, even though it is firmly believed Kashmir is the Integral part of India like any other state of this country since elections are regularly held and the govt. stalled to govern the state of Jammu & Kashmir like any other state of the country.

Dr. Raj Baldev, Cosmo Theorist and GBA President said, “the history that I traced in my article against Roy was simply to convince her with the background, which probably she had not gone through, but I doubt whether by doing so, any one can snatch her rights of her viewpoints, not even Govt. of India?

“I simply gave my underlying reasons showing that a very strong balance of convenience in favor of India, 'Kashmir being the integral part of India',” Dr. Raj Baldev said.

"I am myself a writer, written several books, most of them against the policies of different Prime Ministers and leaders of India’s freedom struggle, how undue advantage they took of their positions, nothing happened being democracy, it’s every one’s rights and so is of Ms. Roy. How could an act of sedition be applied against her?"

Dr. Raj Baldev, Cosmo Theorist and GBA President said,” I would like to give some other facts about Kashmir, which may open the eyes of the people how British played a duplicity in this issue, they were internally in favor of Pakistan to get Kashmir state, having 85% Muslim majority.

“It was conveyed to Mountbatten to further transmit the message to Jawaharlal Nehru, to convince Maharaja of Kashmir Hari Singh in private to accede to Pakistan by taking an advantage of Nehru-Edwina affairs; Nehru was considered to be in terrible love with Edwina.

Mrs. Edwina Mountbatten was the wife of then Viceroy of India Lord Mountbatten, who was believed to be a gay and probably for these reasons, he did not mind the affairs between Nehru and Edwina.

Another reason was that Mountbatten had helped India by overruling the recommendation of Whitehall, who wanted one of the two islands i.e. Andaman and Nicobar should go to Pakistan as a staging post between East and West Pakistan, but Mountbatten insisted that both these islands should go to India.

Under the circumstances, it became a difficult situation for Nehru to say no to Mountbatten, and so Mountbatten was sure that Nehru would not ignore his request and moreover it was also endorsed by Edwina. Mountbatten thus assured Pakistan that Hari Singh would accede to Pakistan and not India.

While the efforts were being thought over by Mr. Nehru, which way Kashmir should go and whether he should ask Hari Singh to accede to Pakistan with a view to honoring British Sentiments, Pakistan was so much excited and in its anxiety and based on some misinformation or abetment of their British C-in-C, Gen Meservy in connivance with Pak political leaders, violated the status quo and in October 1947, organized a massive tribal raids into various parts of Jammu and Kashmir.

By 24 October, Pakistan launched a full scale offensive attack in the valley of Jammu & Kashmir under the guise of a tribal uprising. Hari Singh, Maharaja of Jammu & Kashmir, who was still to make up his mind where to go for accession, was shocked by the invasion by Pakistan. It was therefore natural for Hari Singh to accede to India, who had no other option but to look to India for help and formally signed the Instrument of Accession with India on 26 October 1947.

I would like to omit many relevant links here since I don’t want to reveal the then “India’s Flopped Military Structure” vs Political Structure, however, military structure was commonly called by the then experts as “Flawed Politico Military Structure” (FPMS), and now I would directly come to a point where Gen. Thimayya, generally known as Timi was entrusted to conduct the operations and Gen. Cariappa took over Western Command from General Russel.

There starts another story which I would not like to discuss it here to shorten the issue and moreover I being an ex serviceman would not like to malign the military lapses.
