hi,
****************What exactly happened in 1947*****************
Jammu & Kashmir in the year 1947 was an independent country for all practical purposes. The *Maharaja who ruled the State had signed agreements with both Pakistan and India to remain neutral and not be part of either country. India honoured that agreement but Pakistan did not. Pakistani raiders and soldiers attacked the state in 1947 forcing the Maharaja to flee to India. The Maharaja asked India to help his people who were being killed and looted by the Pakistani raiders. **He also agreed to make Jammu &; Kashmir part of India. **The Indian ruler at that time was Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. *He accepted Jammu &; Kashmir's accession to India and agreed to rescue his people from the Pakistani attackers. Indian troops were flown into the Kashmir Valley and they managed to drive away most of the Pakistani raiders from the state. But a large area of the state remained under the control of Pakistani soldiers. These areas were difficult to reach because they were surrounded by tall mountain ranges. Also, India wanted to stop the fighting. The fighting ended with Pakistan retaining control of a large area of the state but India keeping a larger part.

what is the legal position on Jammu & Kashmir?
Legally, Jammu & Kashmir is an integral and inseparable part of India.
Northern Kashmir is shown cut off from the state and the territory forming part of Pakistan and China. In the 1962 war, China illegally occupied "Aksai Chin", the land rightfully belonging to India. Here CIA has referred to it as 'Indian claim'. (CIA- central intelligence agency)
Northern Kashmir is termed as *"Pakistani Kashmir"*. This land is well-knowned as Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK). But has called it as "Pakistani" ie. belonging to Pakistan.
Legally complete Jammu and Kashmir State belongs to India. & is silent about China occupied Kashmir.
**conclusion: J& k is part of india legally .bcoz mahhraja agreed to give it to india.
but pak has occupied a portion in north.
hope u could get full information .
