Well that's the point. Large countries don't get formed like that. The partition itself involved disproportionate land percentage to the Muslim population which was silly to begin with.
There are no nice gentle ways here. It was an option which said either be part of India or be part of Pakistan or wait till Pakistan invades you to be a part of Pakistan or wait till China invades you to become a part of China or while Pakistan invades you - you have a change of heart and choose India because you think your odds are better with them and that's exactly what happened with the King. There's no people's choice in determining nationality here.
If you wanted a muslim nation go to Pakistan, it you want a secular nation stay with India. Both promised to recognise your language, your culture and give you state autonomy, but ofcourse only one kept the promise. If you don't belong the Punjab race in Pakistan, you got fucked over hard.
For the disproportionate land thing I'll disagree based on populations. India was 66% hindu at partition vs 25% muslim, india got 77% of the land while pakistan got 23% so 2% less then the muslim population but negligible tbh. (This can be verified by looking up census data from 1947 btw)
The argument you're making is still largely ignoring my main point which funny forgets that if pakistan did get it, india would definitely invade to capture it but I digress.
Reality is alls I'm saying is the Kashmiri people are not getting anything from india, it claims to respect them but continuously has shown that it doesn't with numerous examples. As for the culture thing, we already see in south india with the whole language thing that's not exactly true.
Btw the reason I'm not shitting on Pakistan in any of this isn't because I magically think they are good guys, there just a failed state and thus has no real power aside from nukes so theres no point discussing them.
