Politics Pakistan 's mission The international community considers The state of Jammu and Kashmir divided into three parts occupied by India, Pakistan and a part by China.In June 1947, Sir Cyril Radcliffe set up 2 Boundary Commissions to `` demarcate the boundaries of the two parts of the Punjab on the basis of ascertaining the contiguous majority areas of Muslims and non-Muslims. In doing so, it will also take into account other factors. '' At the time, Jammu and Kasmir had 4 million inhabitants, majority, Muslim, with the Maharaja being Hindu. In September 1947, he started a campaign to drive many Muslims out of Kasmir. over 200, 00 fled and finally the Muslims rose in rebellion. The Maharaja initially fought back but appealed for assistance to the Governor - General Louis Mountbatten, who agreed on the condition that the ruler accede to India. Hari Singh signed the Instrument of Accession on 26 October 1947, which was accepted by the Governor General of India the next day. Once the Instrument of Accession was signed, Indian soldiers entered Kashmir with orders to evict the rebels. India took the matter to the United Nations. The UN resolution asked Pakistan to pull its Army out from Kashmir but allowed India to leave only the minimum number of troops needed to keep civil order so that a referendum can be held under UN observation. After the required withdrawal did not occur for several years Jammu & Kashmir National Conference which was the largest political party in the state recommended convening the constituent assembly in a resolution passed on 27 October 1950. ( 7 ) On 1 May 1951 Karan Singh then Head of state of Jammu and Kashmir issued a proclamation directing the formation of this assembly. The assembly was to be constituted of elected representatives of the people of the state. For purposes of this election the state was divided into constituencies containing population of 40,000 or as near thereto as possible and each electing one member.

( 7 ) However, the 1951 elections were said to be totally rigged. Polls were conducted in Indian administered Kashmir in August -- September 1951. There were no women registered as voters in 1951 Jammu and Kashmir elections. But there was one woman who contested who lost her deposit. ( 9 ) Jammu & Kashmir National Conference won 75 seats under the leadership of Sheikh Abdullah. ( 10 ) ( 11 ) On 31 October 1951 he addressed the assembly for the first time and called on it to frame the states constitution and to give a ' reasoned conclusion regarding accession '. On 15 February 1954 the assembly members who were present cast a unanimous vote ratifying the state 's accession to India. ( 13 ) ( 14 ) Constitution was drafted which came into force on 26 January 1957. Part II, section ( 3 ) of the constitution states ' The State of Jammu and Kashmir is and shall be an integral part of the Union of India '. In 1956 the Constituent Assembly finalised its constitution, which declared the whole of the former Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir to be ' an integral part of the Union of India '. Elections were held the next year for a Legislative Assembly. This section can not be legally amended as per provisions of Part XII of the constitution.
