| The truth about J&K - Does Pakistan have a locus standi on J&K ? - Part- 2 -of-9 -by- Lt.Col. Thakur Kuldip S Ludra |
The British complicity was obvious. The following additional circumstantial evidence leads to the justification about the accusation being made:-
a. There is some justification in the Pakistani accusation that the British had planned the entire affair when as a result of the Partition they gave Gurdaspur District, a Muslim majority district to India. (However, it must also be realised that the so-called Muslims were mainly Ahemdiyas, whom Pakistan subsequently declared as non-Muslims.) This gave India an access to the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Had this district gone to Pakistan and Lahore to India as was justified at that time, as a result of the population, India would have never been able to sustain her operations in Jammu and Kashmir.
b. Most of the senior officer cadre, both in the Indian and Pakistan Armies was British. It was obvious that the entire operation was planned by the British. For them to say that they were not in the know of the whole affair is a blatant lie. Especially as it was a British Officer who led the coup in Gilgit, by the Gilgit Scouts giving the entire Northern area of Gilgit (Agency and Wazarat) as well as Baltistan, including Nagar and Hunza, to Pakistan. This was also known to the British Commander-in-Chief of the State Forces, General Scott, as early as June 1947, when he had accompanied Brigadier Ghansara Singh to take over the Gilgit Agency from the British.
