Talk:Instrument of Accession (Jammu and Kashmir)

Removing subsection Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election, 2014
I am removing subsection titled "Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election, 2014". This looks more like a piece of propaganda and is not needed in this Article. This article is about Instrument of Accession of Jammu and Kashmir not about elections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ubaierbhat (talk • contribs) 21:05, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi, we normally don't put whole documents here. It's probably better to describe the document and its significance, with a link to an online version of the document itself. Danny

Yes, please read What Wikipedia is not number 13. You can place source text at our sister project Project Sourceburg. --mav

Okay, it's now changed to a stub. --Nate 03:32 Nov 30, 2002 (UTC)

December 2006: Latest comments of Pakistan over Kashmir “The Kashmir puzzle”
"The Kashmir puzzle"

Opinion - Letters to the Editor

This refers to the editorial "Clues to Kashmir peace puzzle" (Dec. 13). Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam's statement that her country has never claimed Kashmir as an integral part of its territory is a pleasant surprise. She has buttressed her assertion, saying Pakistan-held Kashmir has its own president and prime minister. It is clear that there is a paradigm shift in Pakistan's stand on Kashmir. If it indeed has no territorial design in Kashmir, it should leave the issue to the Kashmiris and stop fighting on their behalf. K.V. Seetharamaiah, Hassan

Ms. Aslam's remarks vindicate New Delhi's stand that Kashmir is an integral part of India. One feels that the latest statements by President Pervez Musharraf and his Government are effective catalysts for a change. K.S. Thampi, Chennai

By stating openly that it has never claimed Kashmir as its integral part, Pakistan has only reiterated the legal position. The Indian Independence Act 1947 gave the princely states the right to choose between India and Pakistan. Jammu and Kashmir became an irrevocable part of India once Hari Singh signed the Instrument of Accession to India. It is an open secret that Pakistan's relations with India have been closely linked to its fixation on Kashmir. When all is said and done, Pakistan's latest statement is welcome, as it is likely to take the neighbours closer to solving the peace puzzle. A. Paramesham, New Delhi

A week ago, Gen. Musharraf said Pakistan was willing to give up its claim to Kashmir if India accepted his "four-point solution." Why should he offer to give up the claim over something his country never claimed in the first place, using a non-existent thing to negotiate? "Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practise to deceive!" (Sir Walter Scott, Marmion) S.P. Sundaram, Chennai

http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2006/12/05/pakistan-kashmir.html?ref=rss

Now that Gen. Musharraf has clarified Pakistan's stand on Kashmir, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh should seize the opportunity to settle the issue once and for all. The BJP should not be a stumbling block to the negotiations. M.N. Srinivasan, Vellore

Statements emanating from Pakistan are intended to pressure India in two ways. While they will invoke the wrath of those who favour self-rule for Kashmir, India will be forced to negotiate the Kashmir issue more seriously on bilateral and multilateral forums. The Government should respond with a strong message. Rajeev Ranjan Dwivedi, Dhenkanal, Orissa

Pakistan's latest statement is superficial and bears no significance. It should not be seen as a shift in its Kashmir policy. It is an attempt to mislead the world until the tide turns in Gen. Musharraf's favour. With India set to sign a nuclear deal with the U.S., Pakistan wants to gain some ground and win credibility in American circles. Had Gen. Musharraf really believed that the people of Kashmir should decide their fate, he would have ended cross-border terror by now. Shashikant Singh, Roorkee

Referendum referred to by Lord Mountbatten
There should be a link to this referendum if it was effected, and if it wasn't there should be a discussion about the implications of this, or if such discussion exists in another article, a link to it. __meco (talk) 10:25, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

, please avoid adding cherry-picked opinions from newspapers. Note that WP:NEWSORG are only reliable sources for news, i.e., current affairs that the journalists have first hand information on. For opinions we need WP:SCHOLARSHIP. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:26, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Why was the background removed
Kautilya3 you removed the background information. It was full on references. If you have any objections please clearly state your objection with each sentence, so that it could be rectified. Johnleeds1 (talk) 18:48, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
 * You have initiated a discussion for similar content at Talk:Kashmir conflict, which you are yet to conclude.
 * Secondly, in a Background section, you can only include such material as is immediately relevant to the topic. It is a good idea to establish such relevance by appealing to a good reliable source. You cannot make up your own "background" of the topic based on WP:OR.
 * Your content still contains a vast amount of WP:CITEKILL. On closer inspection, we find that the cited sources hardly support the content you write. Please focus on one or two high-quality and high-level sources and make sure you state what they state without any OR. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 01:45, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
