Question

briefly discuss the events leading to the signing of the instrument of accession?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Instrument of Accession is a legal document executed by Maharaja Hari Singh, ruler of the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, on 26 October 1947. By executing this document under the provisions of the Indian Independence Act 1947, Maharaja Hari Singh agreed to accede to the Dominion of India.

Answer 2

The Government of India in 1935 introduced a legal document called Instrument of Accession.

• The Act was enforced in 1947 when Pakistan and India divided or partition into two different countries.
• The Act gives freedom to the princely states based on the choice of joining either India or Pakistan.
• The states will benefit from the defense, communication, finance, infrastructure, and external affairs of the country.
• The most tedious case of Instrument was the Jammu and Kashmir case in which Pakistan wanted J&K because of religion and the ruler of J&K Hari Singh signed the treaty with the Indian government to seek defense force.
