Kashmiris of valley rejected Pakistan & supported India in 1947 - A fallacy originally peddled by Indians but now used by some of our own people to malign us. There's a lot of material to debunk it but here are some excerpts from the book of AJK's founding father.

Two Kashmiri legends in one frame ✨
Allama Iqbal - Gave the concept of Pakistan
Khawaja Abdul Rahim - Coined the term Pakistan
“Most of the men comprising the [Dogra] army were Dogras,Gilgitis & other inhabitants under his sway.The [ethnic Kashmiris] are rarely admitted into its ranks”
- Wakefield (1879)
Guess what ? People who were in Dogra army now accuse Kashmiris of cowardice, collaboration ++ 👇
“The only thing that was in our favour [against the deceit of NC] was that Kashmiris had a lot of love & regard for me. Thus , in a short span of time more than half of Srinagar, Baramulla , Delina , Budgam etc were free from the deceit of NC” - Ghulam Abbas sb
Thousands of Pro-Pak Kashmiri students , politics workers etc were forced to migrate to Pakistan in succeeding years.

With all due respect dear brother - this is simply untrue , Gibralter forces were able to penetrate only 2 ethnic Kashmiri belts ; Budgam & Mandi & at both places they received all out assistance from locals.Gibralter forces in Budgam(Pahari Sudhans) were led by Colonel Mansha👇
In his 50 page report submitted to GHQ , Colonel Mansha Khan stoutly refutes the propaganda , deliberately indulged in by Indians , that Kashmiris betrayed or something. He is all praise for the assistance he received from Kashmiris who even sacrificed their lives & property. 👇
