Edit request for Flag from 98.225.193.150 (talk) 16:39, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

{{edit semi-protected}}

The flag is that of the National Conference political party and not of the State of Jammu & Kashmir. Please remove this flag as representing the geographical region. 98.225.193.150 (talk) 16:39, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

 Not done: No, it's not. A search of both the political party and the region show that the description of the picture is incorrect; I'm investigating it right now, but it looks like someone recently falsely changed the description on Commons. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:40, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Removal of contents in spite of sources provided as irrelevenat

Hi, the sources and contents mention history of Kashmir valley. How is that irrelevant? I think this is high time people get out of mentality that history began with Alaxander and otherwise before invasions pagan lived on trees. Thisthat2011 (talk) 08:21, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

This article is neither about the Kashmir valley nor about the historical region of Kashmir (which has a separate article). Its scope is only restricted to the modern (post-1947) political entity. The information that was deleted is undue as it is beyond the scope of this article. Separate articles exist for Kashmir and History of Kashmir; perhaps the additions would be more appropriate there. Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 14:52, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

If this article is for "the modern (post-1947) political entity" the information about Mughal Emperor Akbar, First Anglo-Sikh War, etc. should be removed.--UplinkAnsh (talk) 11:15, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Agreed—the information about Akbar etc. will probably have to go. However, the content about the first AS War and the former princely state could be retained, since they pertain to the history of the period immediately prior to the current political entity (in order to avoid abruptness and provide context). The rest of the stuff ought to be mentioned in detail on the History of Kashmir page. BTW, you seem to have restored the text again instead of removing further irrelevant content—could you please clarify as to why you did that? Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 17:37, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Well, it's fine then, we could remove the history which is not immediately connected to the perent entity of J&K. Well I had waited 3-4 days for your reply beyond which I thought you might have agreed to the point and were no longer interested in replying. Anyways, you could remove data as already discussed. --UplinkAnsh (talk) 04:26, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Incorrect text of UN Security Council Resolution on Jammu and Kashmir

The article incorrectly quotes the UN security Council Resolution on Kashmir. The first article of the first UN tresolution requires the Pakistan remove its regular and irregular forces which have enterd Jammu and Kashmir. The removal of Indian forces is not required by the UN resolution. Please correct this text in the main article.Chibber (talk)chibber —Preceding undated comment added 21:40, 11 November 2011 (UTC).

Map of religions of IOK (Indian Occupied Kashmir)

It exist a map in english of religions of Indian Occupied Kashmir. I've no account on en:wikipedia, so i can't modify this article. If somebody is interesting, help yourself;-).

— Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.39.254.107 (talk) 21:10, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Now why is it that "a map of religions of jammu and kashmir" only shows the geographical portion of Jammu and Kashmir which is the functional State territory of the Indian state of J&K? and why obsess about religion? An ethno-linguistic map of the entire region of J&K will be far more pertinent. That map will show, obviously, the great extent to which ethnic Punjabi Muslims have migrated into the part of AJK (Azad Kashmir) under Administrated by Pakistan. It will show that the original Kashmiri linguistic regions of Pakistani Administrated areas have seriously been altered/disturbed by the introduction of very large numbers of ethnic Punjabis and Pathans into formarly Kashmiri/Tribal dominated areas of J&K under Pakistani Administartion. Such a map will also show the consequence of blatent ethnic/religious cleansing undertaken by Kashmiri mussalmans in the Jehlum valley. The tragedy for the people of J&K is not religios demographics, but the unscrupulous use of such demographics to uspur land and resources from weaker ethnicities such as the Hindkos, the Kashmiri Pundits, the Ahmadiyas,and the muslim Kashmiris themselves by Muslim Punjabis and Pathans under State sponsered ethnic cleansing in Pakistan.Some times I wonder if there were actually a plebicite in all of J&K, and only ethnically native Kashmiri, Pundits, Hindco etc. speakers be allowed to vote in that plebicite, excluding all Punjabi and Pathan mussalmans, - I wonder how such a plebicite will turn out.

False View of India

India is Claiming that Pakistan has occupied some Part of Jammu & Kashmir is an Indian Corrupted view and Very Funny view. Pakistan has Never Occupy But has Azad (Free) the 30% Parts of Jammu & Kashmir Known 'Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK) and Gilgit-Baltistan' . Only India has illegal Occupied 60% Parts of Jammu & Kashmir Since 1947, which Pakistan refers 'Indian Occupied Kashmir' (IOK). (In Urdu: Bharati Maqbouza Kashmir) and 10% Part is Administrated by China (Aksai Chin) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.99.116.203 (talk) 07:29, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
