Re: [IAC#RG] [NCPRI] Locating the Jammu and Kashmir Instrument of Accession after 69 years

Dear Sh Venkatesh

I am surprised that you are doubting the documents you have released into public domain after claiming they were obtained from National Archives. I am perplexed why you disagree these documents do not 100% prove J&K acceded to India, especially since over 500 other Indian princely states signed the identical Instrument of Accession and there is no controversy over there integration in the Union of India.

Should I list 3 or 4 points regarding the document you circulated, eg.

1) The original copy of the IOA for J&K was with the Ministry of Home Affairs but without any standstill agreement. Yet you have managed a copy of the standstill agreement also. How did you manage this feat ?

2) All the documents you have circulated for J&K's IOA seem to be uncertified and lack the MHA's (ie. Ministry of State) official seal, unlike the other IOA's you obtained. Is it possible that the original IOA is still with the MHA and not transferred to Natinal Archives by them ?

3) The document you have circulated differs materially in its text from that published by the J&K Law Dept from their official website, and also from that published from the Indian Govt's "Digital library of India " but is virtually identical to the version being circulated by a Pakistani origin website "Jammu-Kashmir.com". Why is that ?

4) Is it not true that the originals of all these agreements are actually in London and only copies certified by the Dominion's "Ministry of States" were given to India and to J&K ?

I hope that an expert and researcher like yourself can clarify these issues.

Thanks for the good wishes sir. My objective is what is mentioned in the email alert and the article, nothing more, nothing less. The issue that you have mentioned is much larger and complex and cannot be resolved merely by putting some historical documents in the public domain.

thanks

What a deed you did to extract all these documents proving Jammu and Kashmir is 100% a part of India.

Surely you are on ISI hit list for this surgical strike and must pray for your continued well being and safety.

Dear all,
26-27 October, 2016 mark the commencement of the 70th anniversary of the
accession of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) to India. On account of the troubled
times that J&K is passing through since July, there is little space for
celebrating this event, but a sober commemoration of this historic moment,
may not be out of place. The Instrument of Accession (IoA) signed by
Maharaja Hari Singh has become the object of a never-ending controversy,
unlike accession instruments signed by other princely States.

*Does it really exist or not?* *Yes, the J&K IoA exists for real, safe and
well preserved in the collection of the National Archives. I have elected
to place in the public domain, a copy of the J&K IoA obtained legitimately
from the National Archives, for the purpose of facilitating informed debate
amongst those interested in the subject.* I have also placed in the public
domain copies of the IoAs of* Mysore, Manipur, Tehri Garhwal *and *Udaipur*
obtained from the National Archives so that readers may compare them with
the J&K IoA for ascertaining its contents. These documents may be accessed
on *The Wire
