Abstract

With the partition of British India, two independent states came into being by a result of the messy transfer of power from British colonial rule to two newly independent states of India and Pakistan. Both have celebrated over seventy anniversaries. The partition pact allowed the people to decide their future on the basis of Two-Nation theory, i.e. Hindu majority areas were to be a part of India, whereas Muslim majority areas were to be assimilated to newly-born Pakistan. The place of Kashmir, as being a Muslim-majority area, among these new nations, was hotly debated. However, an adequate solution was prevented when India sent her troops to occupy J&K forcibly under the garb of self-concocted temporary instrument of accession. This paper will discuss the partition plan juxtaposed with the Resolutions made by the United Nation on Kashmir, making of Constituent assembly till the abrogation Article 370 of Indian constitution which guaranteed special status to disputed state of Jammu Kashmir
