In 1947, British India was partitioned into India and Pakistan. The princely states were given a choice to join either India or Pakistan or stay independent. At that time, the state of Jammu and Kashmir was ruled by Maharaja Hari Singh who initially chose to be independent and not join any of the two countries. But, Pakistan attacked Kashmir by sending Tribesmen. Because of this attack, Maharaja Hari Singh agreed to joined India by signing the Instrument of Accession with some conditions (which is why Kashmir is a part of India but enjoys a special status).
