Key events in Kashmir since British rule ended in 1947

Associated Press  

Some key events in Kashmir: — August 1947: With the end of British colonial rule, the Indian subcontinent is divided into predominantly Hindu India and mainly Muslim Pakistan. — October 1947: India and Pakistan fight their first war over control of Muslim-majority Kashmir, a kingdom ruled by Hindu Maharaja Hari Singh. — December 2001: India masses troops along its western frontier with Pakistan and the Kashmir boundary after blaming Pakistani insurgents for a deadly attack at the Indian Parliament. India blames Pakistan and promises a “crushing response.” — Aug. 5-6, 2019: India’s central government changes part of the Indian Constitution and downgrades Jammu and Kashmir from one state to two territories.
