The Instrument of Accession is a legal document executed by Maharajah Hari Singh

The Instrument of Accession is a legal document executed by Maharajah Hari Singh, ruler of the State of Jammu and Kashmir (princely state), on October 26, 1947. It gives control of Jammu and Kashmir princely state (includes Jammu, Kashmir, Northern Areas, Ladakh and Aksai Chin) to the government of India.
"Whereas the Indian Independence Act, 1947, provides that as from the fifteenth day of August, 1947, there shall be set up an Independent Dominion known as India, and that the Government of India Act, 1935 shall, with such omission, additions, adaptations and modifications as the governor-general may by order specify, be applicable to the Dominion of India.
And whereas the Government of India Act 1935, as so adapted by the governor-general, provides that an Indian State may accede to the Dominion of India by an Instrument of Accession executed by the Ruler thereof.
Now, therefore, I Shriman Inder Mahander Rajrajeswar Maharajadhiraj Shri Hari Singhji, Jammu and Kashmir Naresh Tatha Tibbetadi Deshadhipathi, Ruler of Jammu and Kashmir (princely state), in the exercise of my sovereignty in and over my said State do hereby execute this my Instrument of Accession and I hereby declare that I accede to the Dominion of India with the intent that the governor-general of India, the Dominion Legislature, the Federal Court and any other Dominion authority established for the purposes of the Dominion shall, by virtue of this my Instrument of Accession but subject always to the terms thereof, and for the purposes only of the Dominion, exercise in relation to the State of Jammu and Kashmir (hereinafter referred to as "this State") such functions as may be vested in them by or under the Government of India Act, 1935, as in force in the Dominion of India, on the 15th day of August, 1947, (which Act as so in force is hereafter referred to as "the Act") ." It is further specified that. "I accept the matters specified in the schedule hereto as the matters with respect to which the Dominion Legislature may make law for this State." Thus the power of the Dominion to make laws was restricted to the matters mentioned in the Schedule namely Defence,Foreign Affairs and Communications and a few ancillary subjects specified in the schedule.For all other matters concurrence of the State Government was essential. The accession was accepted by Lord Mountbatten, Governor General of India, the following day (October 27, 1947). Lord Mountbatten in his letter of acceptance wrote that "Consistently with their policy that in the case of any State where the accession has been the subject of dispute,the question of accession should be decided in accordance with the wishes of the people of the State,it is my Government's wish that,as soon as law and order have been restored in Kashmir and her soil cleared of the invader,the question of the State's accession should be settled by a reference to the people."

सेकुलर चैनलों की खुल गई पोल

टीवी देख रहा हूं.. चैनल बम बम भोले की रट लगाते लोगों के एंबियांस से गुंजायमान है। एनडीटीवी पर शेखी बघारते बड़े पत्रकार जम्मू को नजरअंदाज़ करते हुए श्रीनगर की घटना के बारे में जोर देते हुए खबरदार करते हैं- कि १६ प्रदर्शनकारी मार डाले गए। पद्मश्री से नवाजे गए पत्रकार अपने क़द का फायदा उठाते हुए फतवा जारी कर रहे हैं कि जम्मू और घाटी में मुद्दे बदल गए हैं। बड़े पत्रकार महोदय, क्या मुद्दा हमेशा घाटी ही तय करेगा? संवैधानिक व्यवस्था के खिलाफ स्थिति के बारे में आपकी क्या टिप्पणी है.. जब घाटी में प्रदर्शनकारी पाकिस्तानी झंडे लहरा रहे हैं। जायका चखते-चखते विनोद दुआ जी आपको नजर नहीं आता कि इसके पीछे की क्या पॉलिटिक्स है? श्रीमान नौसिखिया भी बता देगा कि पीडीपी का जम्मू में कोई आधार नहीं है, उन्होंने हुर्रियत कॉन्फ्रेंस का एजेंडा उससे छीन लेने की कोशिश की है। ताकि कश्मीर घाटी में उनका आधार और मज़बूत हो सके। इसके बाद नेशनल कॉन्फ्रेंस में घबराहट फैली और उन्होंने भी इस मुद्दे का समर्थन करने का फ़ैसला किया, इसके बाद दोनों पार्टियों में होड़ लग गई।डीडी ने साफ कहा कि घाटी में जरूरी चीजों की कोई कमी नहीं, तो आप किसा आधार पर आर्थिक नाकेबंदी की बात करत हैं? क्या आपको नजर नहीं रहा सेकुलर चैनलों कि धीरे-धीरे यह आंदोलन भाजपा के हाथों से निकलकर एक जनआंदोलन में बदल गया है? आंदोलन का आकार बढ़ता देखकर जम्मू कांग्रेस में घबराहट फैलने लगी है और अब उन्हे अपने कदम पर पछतावा ज़रु हो रहा होगा। ये जम्मू-कश्मीर कांग्रेस के ताबूत में आखिरी कील साबित होगी। राजनीतिक गहमागहमी और खेल की ऐसी की तैसी.. लेकिन जिसतरह ये चैनल उससे खेल रहे हैं उस पर बड़ा रंज होता है। खासकर बौद्धइक माने जाने वाले चैनलों के पत्रकार निराश करते हैं। ुन्हें अपने बुद्धिजीवी होने का गुमान है और ये लगने लगा कि वो देश को मिसलीड कर सकते हैं। इन लोंगो की ताजा रिपोर्टिंग से इतना जल गया हूं कि इनके क्रेडिबिलिटी पर सवालिया निशान लगने लगे हैं। क्रेडिबिलिटी की ए बी सी यानी एक्युरेसी, बैलेंस, और क्लेरिटी की तो इन्होने परवाह ही नही की है. और झंडा बुलंद करते है पत्रकारिता का। एनडीटीवी इंडिया ने साबित कर दिया कि विश्वसनीयता के उसेक लिए कोई मायने नहीं और उसका अपना अजेंडा हैं. किसी खास पार्टी का। हिडन.अजेंडा। लेकिन आगे से आपलोगों के मुंह से १३ पुरस्कारों को की सूची सुनकर बुरा ही लगेगा। इन बड़े नामों ने पत्रकारिता को रखैल बनाकर रख लिया है। दुखी हूं. पहले यही चैनल देखता था, अब नहीं देखूंगा। किसी धर्म की बात नहीं बात सच्चाई और भरोसे का है।

Price of kashmir Rs 75 lcs(nanakshahi) in 1846 AD

Be Our Guests, come ,, have the blessing of lord Shiva at the amarnath Ji Cave, enjoy the valley, its hospitality, spend money here and go back, but mind it don’t thivk keeping land here? This is the mindset of one to all Kashmiri leaders, that has come out in the present row, whether it is Mehbooba Mufti, the predident of PDP, Mr Omar Abdhullad, who made a impassionate speech on the floor of Indian Parliament or the one man party Sajjad Lone. Mr Ghulam Nabi Azad, fell prey to this idea of the Muftis (daughter and father).Do Kashmiri Leaders know that entire State land was purchased “Maharaja Gulab Singh Jummoo” and was acceded to Indian Sovereignty by Maharaja Hari Singh 26th Oct. 1947.It is pity on Mr. Mohamad Sayeed a kashmiri political leader who has never won the Assembly election from Kashmir ans 1st time in his life could win the election from Jammu i.e R.S.Pura constituency and now today he and his daughter Ms Mehbooba Mufti are giving certificate to Jammu people as communal.In the last Assembly elections PDP was 3rd in number and reqiuested Congress to behave as an eleder brother a bigger party and give the cahnce to the rule the state first with Mr. Mufti as the C.M. what he did (i) Healing touch to Militants (ii) Employment to Militants or Surrendered militants (iii) Govt Financial assistance to such militant families (iv) Allotted lands to bgsb University at Rajouri, Islamic university etc.After Mr Ghulam Nabi Azad became the Chief Minister and took certain decisions like creation of Districts and massive development activity, its sent shivers down the PDP and the PDP leaders committed the biggest mischief on 5.2.2008.Mr. M.H. Baig, a Pdp leader and Dy Chief Minister received the file pertaining to allotment of land to SASB and on 6-202008 he gave his opinion in favour of diversion of land. On 20.5.2008 Cabinet passed the order no. 92/7 and order No. 184-FST was consequently passed 26.5.2008. All of a sudden the PDP saw that the rat had fallan in its trap, and Ms Mehbooba Mufti flared up the issue in Kashmir, with the idea of AmarnathNagar and Hindu pollution, change in demogaraphy and what not.Many obnoxious and false ideas were floated by the secessionist which were supported by the coalition partner and its Minister who threatened to withdraw the support by 30.6.208 ans the mess was created by some crook Kashmiri lEarders keeping an eye on vote bank politics. On 28.6.2008 i.e 2 days prior, the support was withdrawn amd the Govt became a minority Govt meanwhile the new Governor Mr. N.N. Vohra joined and hurriedly wrote a letter to CM which facilitated withdrawl of the said cabinet order which opened the pandora’s box.The issue has become a matter of controversy and question of “faith” of 85 Crores Hindus and Jammuties are spearheading the agitation and the people of all religions are participating in the present agitation. All these leaders have forgotten the history which need to be remembered to them. They must know that J&K Statew land was purchased by Maharaja Gulab Singh Jummoo” on 16th March, 1846 by a legally enforceable treaty executed between British Government and Gulab Singh. The sale consideration was (Nanukshahee) i.e fifty lakhs to be paid on ratification of the said treaty and twenty five lakhs on or before the first Oct. of current year, A.D. 1846.
