Decision of the Government of India to carry out strategic research should not be an exercise to absolve Mr.Jawaharlal Nehru of his responsibility for his conduct

According to the  Army Chief General Bipin Rawat, as enshrined in Article 1 and at Entry 15 of the sacrosanct Constitution of India, the whole of Jammu and Kashmir is part of India. Then, he goes on to talk about the whole of Jammu and Kashmir or comprehensively a "complete state of Jammu and Kashmir which includes POK and Gilgit Baltistan", but incredibly does not at all mention about Aksai Chin in the Nagri Khor-sum, Ladakh. Then he says, "this illegal Territory occupied by Pak..." "POK is  actually a Terrorist Controlled Country, or a Terrorist Controlled part of Pakistan" .  Why is General Rawat not referring to Aksai Chin when he talks of the territorial extent of Kashmir in its entirety? He was mandated and has an  obligation to refer to Aksai Chin whilst referring to the territorial extent of Kashmir in its entirety. What he says does not at all inspire confidence! Was his reference to Gilgit and Baltistan as "illegal Territory" or "terrorist controlled part of Pakistan", a slip of the tongue? The whole thing is in a bad taste. Subsequently, he continues, that The Government Of India Ministry has taken a decision to carry out  strategic  research on our boundary issues including research on the northern boundary of India. As far as the northern Borders was concerned, “the historical Section has been tasked and you will be happy to note that we met the Reksha Mantri today  along with Claude Arpe who is a fellow with the USI (The United Service Institution of India) on what is the way forward on addressing…! It is important for the people of our nation and for us in uniform to get a deeper insight into our borders. …This history must be known to them and soon you will get the “actual history” in the open domain for the people to understand as to what is the legacy of our borders. ..When you look at the website of the MHA, you will see,  the length of our northern borders..  the length of our borders is shown something like 3,540 odd kilometers measured from Karakoram pass”. As Maroof Raza showed, the northern boundary of India starts not with the Karakoram Pass in the interior of Kashmir in central Kashmir, but at the Trijunction of What was then the territory held by the Soviet Union as Gorno Badakhshan in the historical northeastern Afghanistan, Chinese controlled Eastern Turkistan and India to the north of the Beyik Pass in the area of  Dafdar in the Taghdumbash and Mariom Pamir areas in Kanjut in Kashmir. So there! 

We lost that martial spirit after Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose or Ashfaqullah Khan and when the scheming and conniving regime of Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru a veritable wolf in sheep's clothing,  who ran with the hare and hunted with the hounds, took over after obviously being in veritable collusion with the British and the Chinese to the detriment of India even after alleged so-called independence in 1947 and successfully destroyed the Survey of India and converted India into a nation full of effeminate and emasculated Indians who are unable to even read a map and understand that the alleged so-called borders depicted therein are anti-Indian! Please peruse the Article, Survey of India.  

The Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir, 1956 in Section 4 under Part II under the caption "The State" reads, "The territory of the State shall comprise all the territories which on the fifteenth day of August, 1947, were under the sovereignty or suzerainty of the Ruler of the State".The same had been reiterated  by both Maharaja Hari Singh as well as Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru.  The territorial extent of the State of Kashmir was as stipulated in Entry 15 in the First Schedule of the Constitution of India. Entry 15 reads, “The territory which immediately before the commencement of this Constitution was comprised in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir”. Two maps, viz. The official maps attached to the White Papers published in July 1948 and February 1950 by the Government of India's Ministry of States, headed, incidentally, by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, under the authority of India's Surveyor General G.F.Heaney give them the legal status to determine the extent of the State of Kashmir as stipulated in Entry 15 in the First Schedule of the Constitution on India. The said official maps presented with the White Papers prove that the northern border of Kashmir with East Turkistan at the time of the accession of the state to the Union of India and the period prior to the commencement of the Constitution of India was on the Kuen Lun Range, the natural and historic border of Kashmir with neighbouring Trans-Kuen Lun State of East Turkistan.

strategic research should if at all the strategic research has an iota of credibility should inevitably and point-blank result in the restoration of the depiction of the northern border of Kashmir with East Turkistan by the Survey of India to the north of the Dafdar, the northernmost political limit of the present Republic of India and on the Taghdumbash and Mariom Pamir and on the Kuen Lun Range on which are the Kukalang, Yangi (north of Bazar Dara), Kilian, Sanju-La and Hindutash Passes in Kashmir and the rescinding of the ab initio illegal and ultra vires the sacrosanct Constitution of India  line published by Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru in 1954 as non est in law.  
Also, the eastern International Indo-Tibetan  boundary of Ladakh with the sovereign State of Tibet would be depicted to commence from the Pulu area at the point where the Kuen Lun Range in Kashmir which historically runs southeast to northwest and the Altyn Tagh range in Tibet running southwest to northeast, converge forming a "V" shape and continue southwards along the Ridges which separate the Highlands of Kashmir in the Sub-continent of India from Tibet wherein are the Mawang Kangri and Aling  Kangri Peaks and culminate at the area of the Marnyak La and Mayum La at the Trijunction of Uttara Khand, Nepal and the Sovereign State of Tibet. 

The Gazetteer of Kashmír and Ladák compiled under

the direction of the Quarter Master General in India in the Intelligence Branch and first Published in 1890 by the Superintendent of Government Printing, Calcutta.  gives a description and details of places inside Kashmir and thus includes a description of the Híñdutásh Pass in north eastern Kashmir in the Aksai Chin area in Kashmir. The aforesaid Gazetteer states in pages 520 and 364 that “The eastern (Kuenlun) range forms the southern boundary of Khotan”, “and is crossed by two passes, the Yangi or Elchi Diwan, .... and the Hindutak (i.e. Híñdutásh ) Díwán”. It unequivocally  describes Khotan as “ A

province of the Chinese Empire lying to the north of the Eastern Kuenlun range, which here forms the boundary of Ladák”. Besides, the W. H. Johnson map which depicts Hindutash and Sanju-La passes in Ladakh as part of Kashmir and the Map referred to in Article 9 of the Simla Convention between Great Britain, China, and Tibet dated the 5th July 1914, depicts the southern International border of Khotan  with India on the Kuen Lun range in the area of Hindutash in Kashmir as a red line.  

“The findings of W.H. Johnson’s survey established certain important points”. "Brinjga was in his view the boundary post" ( near the Karanghu Tagh Peak in the Kuen Lun in Ladakh ), thus implying "that the boundary lay along the Kuen Lun Range". Johnson’s findings demonstrated that the whole of the Kara Kash valley was “within the territory of the Maharaja of Kashmir” and an integral part of the territory of Kashmir. "He noted where the Chinese boundary post was accepted. At Yangi Langar, three marches from Khotan, he noticed that there were a few fruit trees at this place which originally was a post or guard house of the Chinese". To quote from “Himalayan Battleground” by Margaret W. Fisher, Leo E. Rose and Robert A. Huttenback, page 116 “The Khan wrote Johnson ‘that he had dispatched his Wazier, Saifulla Khoja to meet me at Bringja, the first encampment beyond the Ladakh boundary for the purpose of escorting me thence to Ilichi’… thus the Khotan ruler accepted the Kunlun range as the southern boundary of his dominion.” According to Johnson, “the last portion of the route to Shadulla (Shahidulla) is particularly pleasant, being the whole of the Karakash valley which is wide and even, and shut in either side by rugged mountains. On this route I noticed numerous extensive plateaux near the river, covered with wood and long grass. These being within the territory of the Maharaja of Kashmir, could easily be brought under cultivation by Ladakhees and others, if they could be induced and encouraged to do so by the Kashmeer Government. The establishment of villages and habitations on this river would be important in many points of view, but chiefly in keeping the route open from the attacks of the Khergiz robbers.” The findings of W.H. Johnson hold good to this day and nothing at all has changed legally. W.H. Johnson’s findings pertain to the north eastern border of Kashmir adjacent of Khotan. As far as the rest of Kashmir’s northern border is concerned, the sovereignty of Kanjut (sometimes referred to wrongly as Hunza) over the Raskam and the Taghdumbash Pamir which even extended beyond Dafdar with in the borders of Kashmir Proper to the area of Tashkurghan is a fact which was even admitted by the then Chinese rulers of East Turkistan. So, the territorial extent of Kashmir extends to the Kuen Lun range and also beyond. In the entire northern border of Kashmir, one would conclude that in view of the map referred to in Article 9 of the Simla Convention between Great Britain, China , and Tibet, which depicts the

southern border of Khotan and East Turkistan with Kashmir on the Kuen Lun range in the area of Hindutash in Kashmir as a red line, the northern border of Kashmir on the Kuen Lun is most secure in the Hindutash area in northeastern Kashmir.   According to Dorothy Woodman, in the book Himalayan Frontiers “W.H. Johnson’s survey established certain important points”. "Brinjga was in his view the boundary post" ( near the Karanghu Tagh Peak in the Kuen Lun range in Ladakh ), thus implying "that the boundary lay along the Kuen Lun Range". Johnson’s findings demonstrated that the whole of the Kara Kash valley was “within the territory of the Maharaja of Kashmir” and an integral part of the territory of Kashmir. "He noted where the Chinese boundary post was accepted. At Yangi Langar, three marches from Khotan, he noticed that there were a few fruit trees at this place which originally was a post or guard house of the Chinese". According to Margaret W. Fisher, Leo E. Rose and Robert A. Huttenback, they conclude in their book “Himalayan Battleground”, at Pg. 116 “that the boundary lay along the Kuen Lun Range”. 

Thus it is obvious, in the light of the aforesaid evidence, that the northern Boundary of Kashmir is to the north of Dafdar, the northernmost part of the Republic of India and on the Taghdumbash Pamir and Mariom Pamir and on the crests of the Kuen Lun Range wherein are the Kukalang, Yangi, Kilian and the Sanju-La and Hindutash Passes in northern Kashmir and that the eastern Boundary of Ladakh with the Sovereign State of Tibet is on the ridges separating the Highlands of Kashmir in the Sub-continent of India  from Tibet extending from Pulu to Marnyak La  wherrein are inter alia the Aling Kangri and Mawang Kangri Peaks and any credible research would inevitably come to the aforesaid finding and consequently the territorial extent of Kashmir at the period prior to the commencement of the Constitution of India is also clear, and if any so-called research on the northern Boundary of Kashmir with Khotan and East Turkistan  is manipulated to publish a contradictory finding, the same would only be an endeavour to subvert and undo the very purpose for conducting the research on the northern international boundary of Kashmir in the first place! 

At the end of the day, the poignant question is how much of integrity do these persons who are allegedly going to conduct the alleged strategic research have and whether they at all have any inclination to place India on the top of their priority and would not permit anything whatsoever including the prospects of incurring of the displeasure of the Chinese Rogue Regime, to come in the way of India’s strategic interests in the long run, or whether they have an ulterior diabolical and nefarious purpose in this whole procedure and would espouse the interests of China and render the whole procedure obsolete and infructuous. How many more years should India be made to suffer the ignominy, insult and humiliation of inter alia the ab initio illegal and null and void  bogus and spurious 1954 Nehru Line fabricated at the instance of Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru which is per se ultra vires the sacrosanct Constitution of India and non est in law before the same is inevitably verily denounced and repudiated and undone! And whether the research and its outcome would regard with contempt as irrelevant, extraneous and not germane, the prospects of the incurring the displeasure of the Rogue state China is!
