During Indo-Pak partition in 1947 all Muslim majority regions are to be merged with Pakistan.
Indian regime betrayed and grabbed both Muslim majority "Kashmir state" and Hindu majority Hyderabad state.
To promote 2 million forward caste Brahmins hegemony in Kashmir region, 1200 million Indians are suffering bomb blasts, 4 cross border wars and an inevitable nuclear holocaust with Pakistan.
