If my State has to be saved, immediate assistance must be available at Srinagar. Mr VP Menon is fully aware of the gravity of the situation and he will explain to you if further explanation is needed.\u2019 Mountbatten thinks for a while and then endorses a comment, \u2018It will be wrong to start a new precedence. The Instrument of Accession, as finalised jointly by all the stakeholders, must be signed without changing a word and that too by the Maharaja before I sign on the same document as a mark of acceptance.<\/p>\n

Recommend we follow the correct format.\u2019 He then marks it for the PM, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Uri; 24 October; 1700h The battle has been raging for quite some hours and the raiders have been able to make a very slow and arduous headway up the chasm where they have been held by some ferocious manoeuvring and deadly fire. Brigadier Rajinder is instrumental in keeping the morale of his troops high, taking, on many occasions, a LMG and accounting for some precision kills.<\/p>\n

However, he realises the hopelessness of the situation and the fact that whatever he may do, his small force will not be able to stop the enemy for too long. Watching the light fade, he decides to pre-empts the enemy\u2019s move that, if allowed to materialise, will leave the defenders exposed.<\/p>\n

Keeping the force engaged frontally, a large portion of the enemy, having crossed over to the far bank of the Jhelum River via a footbridge, is likely to cross back behind the Uri defences near Mahura via another footbridge. Another enemy column, with a similar aim in view, is spotted moving over the hills around the left flank.<\/p>\n

These are dangerous moves, and realising the gravity of the situation, Brigadier Rajinder Singh decides to withdraw to Mahura and fight the next battle there. Khurshid is fed up with the situation, being held up and down against an unaccounted force displaying a tenacity he wishes his Kabailis also had. As if the appreciation about the absence of any resistance after Muzaffarabad going wrong has not been enough, a disorderly display of fighting on part of the men under his command, have made the situation pretty worrisome.<\/p>\n

He is unsure about the whereabouts of the 500-odd men who had crossed over the footbridge at Garhi to encircle the enemy. \u2018Must be busy looting and raping,\u2019 he mutters to himself. The light is fading fast. Aslam is also back after sending a wireless message to GHQ Pakistan.<\/p>\n

1kitap1.com\/en Dedicated to Those Who Saved Kashmir for India Three Provinces of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh constituted the Princely State of Jammu & Kashmir 1kitap1.com\/en Preface Much has been written about the invasion of the princely State of Jammu & Kashmir, especially that of the Kashmir Valley. Most such writings, including some of my previous books, are hardcore history\/military history books.<\/p>\n

While a cross-section of our society subscribes to such literature, many others find it challenging to read through such works. Inspired by recorded\/documented evidence, this book has been created in a narrative form to make it more amenable to those who prefer to read stories and narrations. A deliberate attempt has been made to make the work read and feel like a story rather than some quasi-legal document. This work forms a part of a series of books that covers the 1947-48 conflict in a narrative form.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
