After dominion status for ‘India that is Bharata’ was granted and declared by British-intruders, onerous responsibility of uniting Kingdoms of all sizes fell upon steel-shoulders of Sardar Patel. However, not only the last Mughal JL Nehru held onto the task of J&K but also intermittently interfered with issues of Junagadh, Hyderabad, Bengal etc. His entire tryst with not only J&K but also entire country was plunged into intense mid-night darkness of ignorance bordering stupidity that led to a Kashmir that bled copiously for decades culminating into brutal crimes perpetrated on Kashmiri Hindu-s and their oppressive expulsion from the State.
After almost two centuries of British occupation, scores of sanguinary battles leading to massacre of lakhs, loot of $$45 Trillion worth of assets in today’s terms, British made famines causing starvation deaths in lakhs on roads, thousands of Hindu women brutalised, hundreds of revolutionaries savagely tortured…freedom in the name of ‘Transfer Of Power’ was finally attained somehow, then the newly installed Prime Minister proposes and appoints last representative of the brutal regime as Governor General i.e. Head of the newly liberated country !!! Has any other nation ever been derogated in such a crude manner, that too immediately after attaining so-called freedom from foreign yoke by her own Prime Minister ?? On the contrary, MA Jinnah did not allow Mountbatten to hang around corridors of power in Pakistan though they were very much in cahoots with him in perpetrating all sorts crimes against Hindu-s and Bharata.
Prime Minister Nehru was cavorting around like an unbridled stallion high on testosterone !! It was Congress-favourite Governor General of India ‘Dickie Uncle’ who prevailed upon Nehru to refer the issue of J&K to United Nations. So he was in fact instrumental in internationalising the domestic issue of J&K. By appointing Mountbatten, popularised as ‘Dickie Uncle’ by his admirers in Congress and back home in Britain, as Governor General of Bharata, Nehru extended a golden opportunity on platter to same tyrants who had traumatised the country, her denizens for some 200 years, sucked us dry of our wealth and prosperity. Nehru’s pathological anti-Hindu chauvinism was always at the core of his every notion, presumption, assumption, disposition, inclination or decision with Mountbatten as his guide and mentor in politics. Owing to the ‘beautiful relationship’ (words of Nehru’s sister Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit) between Nehru and Edwina Mountbatten, it was a child’s play for Gov. General Mountbatten to bring him around to his decisions howsoever illegitimate, atrocious and anti-Bharata. Army Chiefs of both countries were British nationals in those historic moments of reckoning. Were Congress ‘Freedom-fighters’ so naïve as to be unaware of possible calamities and catastrophes that could have been wrought upon the nation ?? Was that not extreme of callous recklessness ? Britain wanted Kashmir as a strategic territory under their command or with pro-west Pakistan due to it’s locational advantage hence, they surrepticiously sowed seeds of separatism / independence in minds of Muslim League and Kashmiris. To realise that sinister objective, Nehru’s offer of the office of Governor General on a platter was an unexpected windfall for him. ‘Dickie Uncle’ derived maximum advantage out of the golden opportunity, muscled his way as ‘Head Of Defence Committee Of India’ to ensure Army Chiefs on both sides of the border were British nationals reporting to him in addition to the Supreme Commander Auchinleck. That’s how ‘Dickie Uncle’ had a golden opportunity to covertly confabulate with British Army Chief of Pakistani Army, British Chief of Bharatiya Army without roping even a single leader of Congress in confidence, finalised strategies and decisions as Royal British Government wished to have. It was Nehru who offered ‘Dickie Uncle’ to preside over Defence Committee of the Cabinet (now Cabinet Committee On Security) that would resolve all decisions on Kashmir, displacement, war etc. Whatever happened immediately before and after Partition-1947 was in reality, presided over by Viceroy turned Governor General Mountbatten at the behest of Prime Minister JL Nehru and Nehru alone as all those official capacities were conferred upon ‘Dickie Uncle’ by PM Nehru alone.
The last Mughal Nehru turned out to be insuperable obstacle in the process of unification of J&K with Bharata. Instead of warmly welcoming the offer of accession into Bharata, here was a man, purportedly another Kashmiri, stonewalling it by imposing weird conditions that astounded the King of Kashmir. Sardar Patel was extremely annoyed as it was blatantly anti-national on part of Nehru not to accept the offer of accession immediately. It was only after Pakistani raiders reached Srinagar that Nehru was tricked into consent to allow Army to proceed by Sardar Patel in Defence Committee meeting chaired by Mountbatten. After accession was completed, Mountbatten wrote a letter to King of Kashmir Hari Singh mentioning some ‘special’ circumstances under which the accession was conceded. He did not discern such imaginary special circumstances with any other State under accession. Indeed, at the instance of Nehru, he laid down foundation of special status of Kashmir, special Articles, special flag and some special laws too. It was now an open secret that Nehru internationalised Kashmir issue by dragging UN into the entire gamut solely at the behest of his British Master Mountbatten obsessed with his British agenda. Mountbatten persuaded the last Mughal Nehru to make a broadcast in which he was to announce that the accession would be subject to a plebiscite under UN auspices. Interminable series of miseries and embarrassments of all kinds that followed after the referral, compelled even Nehru to admit, it was a Himalayan blunder albeit grudgingly.
After committing the blunder of referring Kashmir issue to United Nations instigated by Mountbatten, Nehru had an opportunity to reverse the faux pas by presenting our side with highest emphasis at our command. Even this opportunity was squandered away in a most callous manner as if entire drama was well conceived and well-planned in advance. When Gopalswamy Iyenger was called out to present Bharatiya side of the issue, Gopalswamy Iyenger stood up, raised his hands as much as he could and just exclaimed, “I protest.” And that was the end of it !!!
Sheikh Abdullah was lobbying around for independence of Kashmir at UN while he was deputed to do the opposite !! Much to the chagrin of Nehru, US Ambassador to United Nations Warren R. Austin made treacherous conduct of Sheikh Abdullah public when Sheikh Abdullah approached him to further his personal agenda.
If MA Jinnah could claim to be ‘Father Of Pakistan’, if Sheikh Mujiburrahaman could claim to have created Bangladesh, JL Nehru enjoys most exclusive privilege of carving out ‘Pak Occupied Kashmir’ single-handedly, a ‘rose’ on his breast-button that no one else could claim such an achievement so far as Nehru alone had ordered Bharatiya Army to stop their march to occupy Pak-Occupied Kashmir (POK). When Bharatiya Army was on the verge of capturing POK’s capital Muzaffarabad, Nehru ordered Army not to proceed and return. Our soldiers were utterly frustrated and shattered albeit they obeyed orders being men in uniforms. Creation of POK was Nehru’s solo-manoeure otherwise entire J&K would have been under Bharatiya occupation. Few years later, Nehru in a private conversation with Gen. Cariappa blandly confessed, ceasefire should not have been there at all !! Nehru could afford such a duplicity and perfidy by then because Mountbatten’s agenda was duly completed already. And the agenda was to handover northern Kashmir to Pakistan and to secure Pakistani Punjab from Bharata which they achieved so deviously courtesy Nehru’s treachery.
How much concerned the last Mughal Nehru might have been about security and honour of ‘Hindu-Kafirs’ is very well illustrated by the genocide and orgies of brutal rapes in Mirpur.
The last Mughal that he was by all accounts, JL Nehru had an intense hatred for Hindu-s and Hinduism while he did not reveal any such contempt for Christians etc.
Highly discriminatory, irrational and absurd Article 370 was thrust upon the Constitution at the instance of the last Mughal alone under pressure of Sheikh Abdullah albeit all other stalwarts viz. Sardar Patel, Dr. Ambdekar, Hasrat Mohani etc. fiercely resisted it. When in 1952 Article 370 was severely criticised in Lok Sabha only to witness a duplicitous, lying Prime Minister squarely blaming departed Sardar Patel for the Article. Article 370 is nothing but a feeding ground for the parasites at the heart of paradise.
He was so much enamoured of ‘Sher-e-Pakistan’ Sheikh Abdullah that he ignored all his nefarious anti-national designs, even used to instruct King of Kashmir Hari Singh to discuss with him future of Kashmir as well as his own. Nehru ignored even Sardar Patel’s counsel not to please and appease that Islamic zealot carrying a Jehadi agenda. Nehru’s consistent hostility towards the King and his excessive overt affection for Sheikh Abdullah and his insistence to deal with the King through Abdullah only, led the King to dither on the issue of accession itself. Mountbatten as Governor General commented, “I thought he wanted to make the Maharaja lick his boots…”.
The last Mughal that JL Nehru was in reality, attended annual session of National Conference in Aug. 1945 held at Sopore and delivered the ultimatum to Kashmiri Hindu-Kafirs thus, “If non-Muslims want to live in Kashmir, they should join the National Conference or bid goodbye to the country…If Pandits do not join it, no safeguards and weightages will protect them.” So the Congress President JL Nehru blatantly warned Kashmiri ‘Hindu-Kafirs’ either to convert or quit the country !! In this case the country was identified as J&K by him. Even Kashmiri leader Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad wanted Sardar Patel to intervene and resolve Kashmir issue as Nehru was just messing around. Nehru’s tryst with destiny of Jammu & Kashmir had been dotted with calamities and catastrophes alone climaxing into genocide and expulsion of some five lakh Kashmiri Hindu-s from the Valley in 1989 when a Kashmiri Muslim was Union Home Minister with VP Singh as Prime Minister. Reversal of the journey began only on Aug. 5, 2019 i.e. after more than 7 decades when through a Parliamentary process, Articles 370 and 35A were abolished under leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the State was bifurcated into two Union Territories. J&K is now in the right direction of their existence.
