Thank you Mr. Bajwa for this information!
As I wrote to Mr. Allen, I want to corroborate the bits of information that
has fallen in my lap from various sources of various political hues, and
then form an opinion.
I'll be grateful if you could share more of such information and also, if
you so desire, the source of it.
Thanks again!
SHYAM

>> Sir,
>> Thank you very much for the information, which corroborates well with the
>> information given in the booklet written by Prof.. Balraj Madhok,
>> president
>> of Bhartiya Jan Sangh, who was born in Skardu and was also witness to
>> many
>> of the events that you have mentioned.
>>
>> Prof.. Madhok mentions that Maharaja Hari Singh was disliked by
>> Britishers.
>> The Maharaja furthered the dislike by opposing the Britishers at the
>> round
>> table conference. Could you kindly share the information that you have on
>> this dislike? This 'dislike' seems strange to me because it was the same
>> Maharaja who, as you also mentioned, fought for the British army as a
>> Lt.General? So where did the 'dislike begin?
>>
>> Further-you may also very kindly add to this- Two of the Maharaja's Dogra
>> regiments got completely wiped out during WW-II. The British paid this
>> 'disliked(?)' Maharaja money to re-build these regiments, which he did by
>> employing Dogras as officers and Muslims as Other Ranks. And when
>> Pakistani
>> army along with the tribal attacked Kashmir, it was there Muslim OR's
>> who,
>> by virtue of their superior numerical strength Killed their Dogra
>> officers
>> and joined the Tribals and Pakistanis in loot, rape and arson. So in
>> fact
>> it wasn't pakistanis who reached outskirts of Srinagar, they were the
>> mutinous Muslim foot soldiers of Maharaja himself who supplied the looted
>> wealth and women, both to Pakistanis and raised pakistani flags. I'd be
>> glad
>> if you could kindly share your comments on the veracity of this
>> information,
>> as Prof. Madhok has also not mentioned anything on this?
>>
>> Keeping to Kashmir. What was the role of the spineless Prince Karan Singh
>> during the period his Father was being hounded by Pt. J.N.Nehru? We all
>> know instrumental he was in supporting Mrs.I.Gandhi, when she was
>> backing
>> out of a constitutional pledge, that was made in her own fathers
>> leadership,
>> to the Indian Princes!
>>
>> Prof. Madhok, for obvious political reasons, is mum on RSS's role that
>> you
>> have mentioned. Could you kindly elaborate on that?
>>
>> Lastly. May I have your permission to place the contents of our mails on
>> my
>> blog. You may visit my blog first and than decide to allow or dis-allow
>> me
>> to do so. My blog can be reached by clicking on
