Explanation:
The Indo-Pakistani War of 1947–1948 or the First Kashmir War[27] was an armed conflict that was fought between India and Pakistan over the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir from 1947 to 1948. It was the first of four Indo-Pakistani wars that was fought between the two newly-independent nations. On 22 October 1947, amidst Pakistani fears of Hari Singh, the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir potentially acceding his Muslim-majority princely state to India,[28]Pakistan precipitated the war a few weeks after its independence by launching tribal lashkar (militias) from Waziristan,[29] in an effort to capture Kashmir and to preempt the possibility of its ruler joining India.[30] The inconclusive result of the war still affects the geopolitics of both countries.
Hari Singh, the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir, was facing an uprising by his Muslim subjects in Poonch, and lost control of the western districts of his kingdom. On 22 October 1947, Pakistan's Pashtun tribal militias crossed the border of the state. These local tribal militias and irregular Pakistani forces moved to take the capital city of Srinagar, but upon reaching Baramulla, they took to plunder and stalled. Maharaja Hari Singh made a plea to India for assistance, and help was offered, but it was subject to his signing of an Instrument of Accession to India.
The war was initially fought by the Jammu and Kashmir State Forces[31][32] and by militias from the Frontier Tribal Areas adjoining the North-West Frontier Province.[33] Following the accession of the state to India on 26 October 1947, Indian troops were airlifted to Srinagar, the state capital. British commanding officers initially refused the entry of Pakistani troops into the conflict, citing the accession of the state to India. However, later in 1948, they relented and Pakistan's armies entered the war shortly afterwards.[33] The fronts solidified gradually along what later came to be known as the Line of Control. A formal ceasefire was declared effective 1 January 1949.[34] The result of the war was inconclusive. However, most neutral assessments agree that India was the victor of the war as it was able to successfully defend[35] about two-thirds of the erstwhile princely state, including the Kashmir Valley, Jammu and Ladakh
