The Kashmir issue (New Delhi, August 1952)

SHYAMAPROSAD MOOKERJEA (1901–1953)

Between 1950 and 1952, while the rest of India settled down with the new Constitution, conditions in Jammu and Kashmir remained troubled. The problem about the border with Pakistan remained unresolved. There were also the issues of Kashmir’s relationship with India and the tension between the Muslim-majority Kashmir valley and Hindu-dominated Jammu. Shyamaprosad Mookerjea, who had founded the Bharatiya Jana Sangh post-independence, made his name in Parliament for his fiery speeches against official policy on Kashmir. In this scathing attack on Nehru’s government, he argued that Sheikh Abdullah was asking for limited accession to the Indian Union. This kind of special treatment was unacceptable and Shyamaprosad insinuated that for reasons best known to Nehru himself, Abdullah was being soft-pedalled.
