Was British India not finally divided into two States, one Muslim and one Hindu? With its Muslim majority and physical contiguity, should not J & K then have logically become part of Pakistan?
It is correct that British India was divided into two States; India and Pakistan. While Pakistan was avowedly a Muslim State based on a Muslim majority, India was then and has been ever since a secular State. Besides, the Radcliffe Award who divided the areas under direct British rule into those with a Muslim majority from the remaining, the future of princely states lay in the nation to which they acceded. Jammu & Kashmir was such a state and it acceded to India.
