Maharaja Hari Singh greeted the guests in his Durbar Hall who had come for the Grand Dinner hosted by the king, unaware of the jackals who'd crossed the Jhelum into his beloved Kashmir, who's throne he failed to give up.
Somewhere else the Pathan tribesmen, sent by the Government of Pakistan waited on the other side of the bridge waiting to get a signal from the Muslim Kashmiri guards that they'd killed their Hindu counterparts. While, the Maharaja and his guests rejoiced the Independence of Kashmir, something sinister was being carried out 50 miles west of Srinagar. A group of men planted dynamites inside the Mahura Power Plant, the sole power station in Kashmir and destroyed it, plunging the whole state into darkness.
As soon as the Pathans entered the boundary of Kashmir, they dispersed into the Dark night to loot the Bazaars known for their Handicrafts all over the world. All efforts to call them back made by their heads to continue their voyage to Srinagar were all in vain. The people of Pakistan describe this looting as the biggest mistake made by the tribesmen .
Maharaja Hari Singh made a distress call to India, asking them to rush troops to counter the invaders. However, India, in order to give this a legal framework asked the Maharaja to sign the Treaty of Accession so that India can legitimately send in the troops. Hari Singh had to give in and troops were airlifted to Kashmir after the accord was duly given the assent.
The newly formed Dominions of India and Pakistan locked horns over this issue and believed that this was the time they could vent out the bitterness and hatred towards each other.  After a combat, this issue reached the UN. The UN advised  that the Pakistani forces retreat to the International Border and after normalcy is restored, a plebiscite be conducted in the state to decide which side do the people want to join. This plebiscite was never conducted and the Kashmiris now say that they were cheated by the Indians.
The dispute continues to exist and 4 wars have been fought between the two countries over the issue. Talks meant to find a solution to the problem have failed and in-spite of international pressure, no solution has been found. The state continues to witness Human Rights violations, violent protests, high unemployment, murders, rapes,etc. and the state is mostly dependent on the center for funds.
This conflict has cost both the sides millions of rupees and Heavy militiralization of the region. The state has been a victim to heavy insurgency and terrorism for the past two decades. Both the sides believe that a solution needs to be found to the problem at the earliest.
The possible solutions that are doing the rounds are:
1. Making the international border irrelevant and both the sides have their own joint jurisdiction over.
2. Considering the LOC as the international border.
The US President has told India that it needs to solve the Kashmir issue before it can secure a place in the UN Security Council.
An answer to this problem has been given by the people of Kashmir themselves.Independence.
This issue has been persistently raised by the separatist leaders there and continues to invoke passion among the people. Independence as an option has been voraciously debated in India and the around the world.
The Kashmiris fail to understand that because of this very demand, they are in such a mess today. Their state is landlocked, topography is mountainous which means agriculture on a large scale is not possible, large area but thinly populated,etc. With so many reasons, survival without support is absurd.
The only feasible option that stands in front of them is to join India, a secular nation as this integration would be licit taking into account the fact that the Maharaja had acceded to India and also taking into consideration that the state has a significant Hindu and Buddhist population.
Hoping for a speedy but unobjectionable solution to the problem.
