Union Home Minister Amit Shah on December 06 narrated the first Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru’s letter to United Nations over the Kashmir issue.
The context of the letter is rooted in the aftermath of the Partition of British India in 1947, which led to the creation of India and Pakistan as independent nations. The princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, which had a majority Muslim population but a Hindu ruler, became a point of contention between the two newly formed countries. Over the years, the Kashmir issue has remained a longstanding and contentious matter between India and Pakistan, with both countries holding different perspectives on the region`s status.
