Today in history: Maharaja Hari Singh signed instrument of accession making Kashmir part of India
In 1947, Maharaja Hari Singh of Jammu and Kashmir decided to accede to India due to a tribal invasion by Pakistani forces, who were committing acts of violence and genocide against non-Muslims. The invasion led to the signing of the Instrument of Accession, allowing Jammu and Kashmir to join India. The decision was influenced by factors such as the desire for military assistance, the preferences of the population, and the principles of secularism and democracy offered by India.
