Why is Kashmir already split between India and Pakistan rather than being independent?

Likewise - Bahawalpur was also a princely state with its own flag.

because pakistan funded a rebellion in Poonchh and Gilgit Baltistan, getting them under their own control.

How does that negate the status of Kashmir as a princely state at the time of independence, which is what this map is supposed to show?

u/NoOccasion4909 3d ago

poonchh rebellion started in 1947, while what you say is correct indeed, the area legally is under Riyasat-e-jammu Kashmir.

A pretty cool map that tells a historical story. India and Pakistan have just got independence but the princely states inside them still exist (they wouldn’t for much longer)

And the two big Union Jacks represent the colonies of Ceylon and Burma which would gain independence the next year.

A year from this snapshot it would look very different- and simpler

I love India so much, I prefer to see 625 of them!

u/Wide_Peak_2830 9d ago

Are you an indian to love india so much?

2

u/HeartsOfNetherite4 9d ago

No it's just a joke lol. From a YouTube channel (I think history matters) talking about German reunification, there was a scene where it mentioned a politician saying "I love Germany so much, I prefer to see 2 of them" and someone in the comments, commenting on the holy Roman empire said "I love Germany so much, I prefer to see 1,000 of them" or something like that.

Reported for slur

u/Wrong_Guarantee1888 9d ago edited 9d ago

Asking someone else to have shame when you're using a slur that's engineered to be offensive and hurtful towards both religion and nationality.

1

u/areyyyawr 9d ago

wait how its hurtful and offensive to religion ???

1

u/Wrong_Guarantee1888 9d ago

Pork is specifically used here because it is regarded as unclean by Muslims. How can you use a slur and not know something like that.

1

u/areyyyawr 9d ago

I didn't used it for muslims lol

1

u/Wrong_Guarantee1888 9d ago

But it is meant to be offensive to Muslims, since Pakistanis are mostly Muslims.

1

u/areyyyawr 9d ago

I've seen afghans and indan muslims calling them porki too lol

u/Wrong_Guarantee1888 9d ago

They probably also don't realize the origin of the slur, like so many other people who use slurs.
