What happened during the Pakistan attack of 1947 ?
In 1947 during after Kashmir decided to merge with India , the Pakistani army attacked Kashmir and started killing thousands of Kashmiris, does anyone has an exact count of how many innocent civilians have been killed by the armed militants in Kashmir ?
To Ugly M thanks but history runs much beyond 1930's so you may want to rad it to get a proper perspective as to who invaded whom and when and whose rule was oppressive or who grabbed whose land.
For other who claim it is history, I say Iam ok but then there are people here who selectively quote history to claim that their line of thinking is right, thanks but your answers arent helping.
To superCool,
Calling others names and equating them with teenage girls etc. doesent help. Infact you are not just trying to insult me but also showing your derogatory attitude towards ladies. Iam not deleting your answer but keeping it so as for everyone to see. Your answer is neither logical nor sensible but to mee it seems you are beyond redemption if any.
To Lalla,
Lot of history is wrongly written and thats what Iam trying to get at.
Freeman,
I agree with you, the originals are normally not that bad its their followers who try and use all tricks in book to appease their "masters" if you will.

My dear Sir, you are sadly mistaken! Kashmir didn't MERGE with India! It was wrongly given to India by Lord Mountbetton to give india the control of water.
Get your facts stright please.
Gulab Singh and his successors ruled Kashmir in a tyrannical and repressive way. The people of Kashmir, nearly 80 per cent of who were Muslims, rose against Maharaja Hari Singh’s rule. He ruthlessly crushed a mass uprising in 1931. In 1932, Sheikh Abdullah formed Kashmir’s first political party—the All Jammu & Kashmir Muslim Conference (renamed as National Conference in 1939). In 1934, the Maharaja gave way and allowed limited democracy in the form of a Legislative Assembly. However, unease with the Maharaja’s rule continued. According to the instruments of partition of India, the rulers of princely states were given the choice to freely accede to either India or Pakistan, or to remain independent. They were, however, advised to accede to the contiguous dominion, taking into consideration the geographical and ethnic issues. In Kashmir, however, the Maharaja hesitated. The Maharaja, fearing tribal warfare, eventually gave way to the Indian pressure and agreed to join India by signing the Instrument of Accession on 26 October 1947 which lead to the 1947 war.

Pakistan did not attack in 1947, it was disturbances due to partition, it was later that the ruler of J&K wanted to join India while a big population was inclined towards the newly formed Pakistan. If Nehru and Gandhi had taken timely decision, partition and conflict could have been avoided.

Muslims in India are hindus converted to Islam due fear ogf Mughal invaders. Most of the Kashmiris are in fact Hindus. History of India was influenced by invaders and has got nothing to do with reality. For example although Alexander who in his own country was considered as a king who was defeated by hindu kashmiri king Porus, is called victorious king. In fact the phrase could have been "Jo Jeeta Wo Porus" As far as abusive language by the participant is considered. That shows Muslim culture, which these hindus after conversion have adopted. Original Arab Culture is not bad and they follow ethics. Only converted hindus of India and Pakistan are dangerous.
