Jammu and Kashmir, generally known as Kashmir, is a territory in the North-Western part of the Indian Subcontinent bounded on the North-West by Afghanistan, by China on the North-East, on the South by the Indian states of Himachal Pradesh and Punjab, and on the West by the Pakistan provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab. It has an area of approximately 85,806 sq.mil, of which 46% is administrated by India, 38% by Pakistan and 16% by China. 

Founded by Maharaja Gulab Singh in 1846, it was a princely state under the rule of Maharaja Hari Singh in August 1947, when India and Pakistan won their independence from British. At the time of partition of subcontinent under the Indian Independence Act, Kashmir was free to become a independent state or accede with either India or Pakistan. 

Initially, the Maharaja Hari Singh chose none of the two countries and wanted Kashmir to become an independent state, but in October 1947, when Pakistani tribesman invaded the state, the Maharaja chose to join India in return of its help against the tribal invasion. As a result, India dispatched troops to Kashmir.

Consequently, a war erupted between India and Pakistan. Pakistan kept on conquering the region significantly when India approached the United Nations asking it to intervene. Subsequently, a ceasefire agreement between the two nations was signed in 1949 as a result of the mediation organized by United Nations. This agreement led to the ceasefire line between the Pakistani- and Indian-controlled sections of Kashmir and the region became divided.  

Since then, it has become the most militarized regions of the world, and has led to the three wars between India and Pakistan in the last six decades. 

Some of the Key Dates in Kashmir's History:

1927 - 1932: The Maharaja Hari Singh (Local Ruler) formulated the Article 35A. Under this law, a citizen of any area outside the borders of Jammu and Kashmir could not

 2020: President of Pakistan, Imran Khan, officially declares Gilgit Baltistan as a fifth province of Pakistan. Not to mention, this region comprises nearly 33% of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. 

Kashmir is one of the places on the earth which suffered a lot mostly due to the presence of Indian Security Forces. The state has a long history of resistance against foreign occupation, a large number of civilians has been killed in the struggle of independence but the movement of freedom never stopped neither it seems to be stopping anywhere.
This movement is largely lead by Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), chairman Yasin Malik, whose political is that Kashmir Issue should be sorted out by the involvement of the people of the state through referendum. If you don't know, Kashmir has been divided and controlled by three Nuclear powers of Asia namely Pakistan, China and India.
In Pakistan Administrated Kashmir, the president of JKLF is Dr Toqeer Gilani, who is also a medical doctor. In an interview with Voice of Paniola, February 23rd, 2020, was asked different questions regarding their freedom movement such as:

1. The motivation which keeps the movement alive for the freedom of Kashmir
2. The long struggle of Independence
3. The role of Pakistan in their freedom movement
4. The table talk with UNO in the response of Jaskool sit-in in October 2019
5. Secular Ideology of JKLF

Similarly, the chairman of JKLF, Yasin Malik has been a constant source of motivation for the people of Jammu and Kashmir to keep the freedom movement alive. He has suffered great troubles and torture by Indian Security forces but this man, a symbol of resistance, never thought of making a compromise and prefer a happy life. Whenever in the future, Kashmir gets free from foreign occupation, the names of these heroes shall always be remembered for all the time.
