I'm sure these comments are going to be full of respectful and well articulated moderate perspectives.

As a Pakistani, thank you for making a neutral perspective of the war. A lot of both Indians and Pakistanis in this comment section should realise that history is something that should not be tampered with due to their political and personal beliefs.

As a Pakistani, this gave me much more information about the first Indo-Pakistani War. This is an amazing video btw I feel sad for those Indians and Pakistani's that died in this war. I would love to see a video of the other Indo-Pakistani wars. Great vid!

Great vid! Its very hard to make an unbiased vid on this issue, but you did very well to look at both the perspectives. Love it!

Thanks for covering this war in neutral aspect, so the people can learn more about southasian history. Also some more important point's:- 1-The capture of gilgit was codenamed Operation coup datta khel by a british officer who led the operation 2-Operation Bison which was codenamed first operation duck failed, but after intense and renewed attempt indian forces suceeded 3-The tribes were halted at srinagar known as battle of shalateng 4- One of the last battles and important named Battle of pandu (which isnt known much) and fell to pakistani force's persuaded indian Pm to Go to UN many more points etc.Hope more vid like these about Indo pakistani wars come soon out,Big thumbs up!

Finally, a modern war. Thanks Knowledgia.

Thanks for making video on this topic

Lahore and Karachi were also part of India. British backstabbing is leading to loss of territory even today for India.

Well done knowledgia for the unbiased video!!!

Jammu and Kashmir situation is even more complicated because of Chinese invasion (surprisingly no mention in the video)

Quite an interesting video!

Can you make a video on the other indo-pak wars you explained this one really well not many people have a detailed video about them like you do

Goa was not a British colony , it was a Portugues colony, your map is wrong

The real "Kashmir" region (Kashmir Valley or the Jhelum River Valley) was at war in the first war for a very short period. Most of the war was in the Jammu division (Jhangar, Poonch, Rajouri, Mirpur, Kotli, etc.). In the Kashmir Division, only the Western region (Baramulla, Gulmarg, Sopore) came under Pakistani occupation before being pushed back, even out of Uri. While India could have liverated further up till Muzaffarabad, it was decided that the troops guarding the Kashmir division should instead be diverted south to end the Siege of Poonch. As for the Trans Himalayan theatre (Gilgit, Skardu, Kargil and Leh), you didnt mention that there was direct British intervention and support towards the Pakistani side in the Rebellion of the Gilgit Scouts. The British did not want India to have a direct land border with Afghanistan and hence, the Soviet Union. One of the greatest moments of this war was towards the end, when a group of scouts left the Indian Himalayan town of Manali in search of a path through uncharted Himalayas towards the Buddhist city of Leh trying to survive the Pakistani siege. The expedition to find a path to Leh was so successful that the Leh-Manali highway is still used to this day to reach Leh and Kargil without going through Kashmir Valley. Subsequently, this was also the very first war where tanks were used in high altitude and worked, in pushing the Pakistanis out of Drass, Kargil and Leh, but sadly could not reach Skardu before the ceasefire.

I realy like your videos. Amazing work

Bro how do you make these videos, maps animation, voice editting, video editting, etc. Please tell me.

Please make a video about The Holocaust in Romania and Transnistria conflict.

Would love to see a documentary on the 1965 Indo-Pak War

Oh a video explaining the indo-pak war... Im sure the comment will be respectful to each other!

Very well made unbiased video, 🤳 Love your videos Knowledgia 🔥💯🔥 Thank you 🙏

Want a video about the Independence of Bangladesh🇧🇩 ❤

as per series you will Publish the video of Bangladeshi Liberatuion War.

The map is very beautiful, the content is attractive

Thanks. 👍

Amazing documentry🎉 Just one small inaccuracy. Kashmir acceded to India after Pakistan began it's invasion and the gilgit scouts had defected

Hope we get a part 2 of the conflict

British drawing border , what could go wrong

it is important to note that 99% of the forces invading kashmir were the pakistani military or its proxy assets so it is clearly an act of aggression by pakistan

That is why there are conflicts in South Asia, only because of the British🇬🇧, who reigned for so many years and left these two countries like this. with how nice they can be friends and collaborate together🇵🇰🤝🇮🇳

You should have covered battle of shalateng !!!

Part 2 plz, on the 2nd war

I am a kashmir (from iok) And everyone here wants freedom especially from india

Please make a video about the English genoicide or irish people and then the rising

Brittish had the idea of dividing . India their idea worked so they tried in srilanka but thanks to srilankan Muslims leaders who opposed it. One leader said & I qoute "first you leave "

India 🇮🇳 has much more legitimacy over Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh as: 1) Historically J&K and Ladakh have been parts of Indian empires such as Mauryas and Sikhs. Ladakh is a Buddhist majority area of India just like Sikkim or Arunachal. If they join China/Pakistan, their rights will be taken just like Tibet. 2) The King of Jammu & Kashmir signed an instrument to join India. It was later Pakistan who got angry and started terr○rising Jammu & Kashmir. Before the King's decision of joining India, Pakistan did not even care about Kashmir. 3) There are many important Temples like Vaishno Devi & Amarnath Temple in Kashmir. They are extremely sacred for Hindus. Meanwhile there is no reason for Pakistan to go to Kashmir. 4) If you look at Jammu & Kashmir and the Pakistani illegally occupied part of Kashmir today, there is a huge difference. Jammu & Kashmir is one of most visited tourist regions of India. Meanwhile nobody goes to Pakistan illegally occupied Kashmir. 5) In Kashmir India has hosted G20 Meeting, will host Miss World in few days, will post International Automobile Expo, has already hosted many international seminars and much more. On other hand Pakistan illegally occupied Kashmir has hosted terr○r groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Hizbul and Jaish-e-Muhammad. 6) India built world's highest rail bridge in Jammu & Kashmir. India built Asia's longest tunnel in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. India built first class infrastructure especially in Lal Chowk, Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir. On other hand, people of Pakistan illegally occupied Kashmir don't even have flour to eat. 7) Most important of all: Kashmir is named after a Hindu sage named Kashyap, who lived in that area. "Mir" means lake. The region has a lake named after sage Kashyap. Thus "KashMir." Pakistan claims Kahsmir just because it is an Indian Union Territory and nothing else.

Nice I like this

People of Jammu and Kashmir should be given right to choose their side

The British🇬🇧 take responsibility for strange borders

At 6:24 in the video it states what "exactly happened isn't known" - that's because the people it happened to, haven't been asked. Imagine trying to document the holocaust without the survivors stories?! My grandparents are from the region and they experienced what happened. Hundreds of thousands like them survived to tell the tale of what happened to our people. The Maharaja was a tyrant - he was disliked by the population of the region, especially the Muslim majority because of his anti Muslim policies, alongside the high taxes, deliberately aimed to drive away the poor rural population. Our grandparents often talked about how they were told of better times during the Sikh Empire, especially the rule of Ranjeet Singh, who had controlled parts of Jammu and Kashmir as part of his empire. When the Maharaja's forces went to disarm the muslims, it was not limited to poonch, it was wide spread in Muslim regions of Jammu and Kashmir. They even took farming tools and axes so people couldn't use them to resist. Following that right wing hindu mobs alongside the maharaja's forces burned, looted, killed and raped their way through the villages of Jammu and Kashmir, in a progrom similar to what has happened to the Rohingya of Myanmar. This caused hundreds of thousands of refugees and started the military conflict - where the Kashmiri tribes and Pukhtun tribes joined.

For the upcoming war in comment section. Good Luck

Can you make a documentary video of history of Bangladesh My exam in 1 week so i need this

Should have mentioned what is article of instrument is and how other 200+ princely states merged with india and pakistan signing this document.

Well well

I'm from Gilgit which india considers part of indian occupied Kashmir. We got independence from British backed dogras on 1st November 47 and we fought for it, later joined Pakistan Pakistan crossed into Kashmir on 22 oct.

Divide and Conquer !

Kashmir belonged to Pakistan 🇵🇰. The state was overwhelmingly muslim. India invaded the Hyderabad & Junagadh muslim states based on the fact that the population of these 2 states was hindu. Pakistan had the similar right to oust hindu raja from the state. Sooner or later, Kashmir will be reunited with Pakistan.

A video on why Myanmar is not part of India today please.

Amarnath, Martand Suryadev Temple, Sharda Peeth, Kheer Bhawani,Jwalamukhi Maata Temple, Rani Temple Gulmarg => 🚩🕉️...

"Creation of India & Pakistan..." BS, India is an ancient nation. An ancient civilizational nation and Pakistan, a product of pre-colonial Isl@m!c polity. It is not a nation, as there was never any Pakistani nation. So please get your basic facts correct.

It is no claim by anyone ! It is a fact that Pakistan Pashtun tribes sent by Jinnah invaded Kashmir ! And all wars were started by Pakistan at large !

Can u do a video on the 1971 war

This doesn’t mention the jammun massacres which occurred shortly before the conflict errupted. The armies of Kashmir began massacring thousands of muslim civilians in the jammun region in an successful attempt to turn the region minority muslim. Its estimated that around 100,000 muslims were killed in these massacres in jammun and the proportion of muslims in the region fell from 60% to 33%. In response, pashtun tribesmen began massacres of Hindus in the areas of jammun under their control, with the proportion of hindus in these regions falling from 10% to less than 1%. This was a large part in why the Pakistani government felt pressured to act and invade the princely state.

Muslims being peaceful as usual.

Great video! Seeing this video, I think that Kashmir should have been an independent country. I can understand the Pakistani outrage!

I don't understand how both countries with barely a year of independence each, had functional armies. Did the British leave them arms? Did they have enough revenue to purchase weapons in only one year? They had an airforce and a navy as well.

@6:13 😂 my man said " decilating" 😂

Kashmir is an integral part of India #pkmkb 😂

We are so glad atleast these countries form. however, kashmir issue should be resolved so that countries can focus on their population.

can you do a video about the israeli war of independence?

I am from Pakistan. Waiting for Part 2

to be cleaar the gilgit scouts has noting to do with local gilgit people its entirely operated by a british who made secreat deal with pakistan as he was supported by then british gov to cutoff indias direct access to central asia as you can see geopolitcs also playing its role here and the victim was india and still is ....

Congratulation Pakistan For Winning First War Against India 1947. Taking Half Of Kashmir,Gilgit And Baltistan Within 1 Year Was Not An Easy Task. ❤️

Just 2 K likes??? Now I can understand why you make less videos on india.

3:39 and to this day that territory pictured there seems to be contested by china and india and pakistan, and historically was also contested by greece and persia if i recall and not sure if any of the asian steppe nomadic tribes raided it or claimed it or not, not to mention both britain and russia probably wanted it during their "great game" shenanigans.

If you learn about the meaning of Kashmir and Srinagar and where these name came from you will get your answer that J&K belongs to whom. The owner of J&K acceded his property to India and chapter closed there. No one on this planet can change this fact.

Kashmir is India

Free Kashmir from Pakistan. I’ve seen massive protests in the past few months from Giljit Balistan who wants nothing from Pakistan. Free Balochistan as Pakistan illegally and forcefully took their state. Free Sindh as Sindhis don’t want to be part of Pakistan Finally Free Punjab from Pakistan😌😌😌😌😌😌😌

First kashmir war beings because of jammu muslims massacre 😢

I am from Poonch

Jammu Kashmir 🚩🕉️🐅🔱... Belongs To Kashmiri Pandits and Dogras ...

Odd that the british didn't resolve as both were dominions of the british

My grandfather fought in this war , was captured by indians, but escaped with other prisoners

As a decendant of pooch rebels who actually fought in poonch....i will say that ground facts were not presented well in this video

I've heard about my past repeated endlessly since I was born... Irony is ... Where is the referendum.

Non Indians and Non Pakistanis are watching an indo🇮🇳-pakistani🇵🇰 war in the comments, c'mon grow up! I'm an indian muslim with some hindu friends, and we don't talk like this even if politics come into conversation. And my indian brothers, stop cursing Islam for your God's sake! And to the Pakistanis as well! And don't write "free kashmir" just make Dua for the betterment of all Muslims.. Wassalam

Naming terrorists as rebels.... What a biased video.. ....

By all accounts, Kashmir should have gone to (Pakistan) if the countries were based on religions, Kashmir was 77% Muslim.

Loving Romonia

Why are there two Hyderabads on the map?

Kashmiris will free Kashmir from india🔥

Two muslim majority states Hyderabad and Junagarh were forcibly merged with India after Indian army showed up on their borders will the threat of invasion. India did the same forcible merging of Kashmir too. That's why Pakistan is never going to drop it's claim for entirety of Kashmir.

Not A good video a lot of details not included the Troubles in Poonch dates back to 19th century and is complex to understand First Kashmir War involved battles in highest terrain like in Skardu, Operation Gulmarg and the 5 day plan to take Srinagar the capital seems deliberately ignored, The Massacres at the Cities like Baramulla, Kotli, Mirpur etc are not included in the video, The Rebellion of the Muslim troops in The Maharaja's Army namely the Gilgit Scouts which helped Pakistan to gain cities like Gilgit easily during the initial days and THE BRITISH ROLE IN THE WAR are missing which can make audience learn better about conflict. Disliking the video Hope that you read and respond AND take criticism in positive manner

I've noticed that there's a lot of Pakistanis and Indians with white skin, maybe because they're not mixed with dravidian race, maybe they are true Indo-Aryans and Irano-Aryans

Kashmir has Muslim majority population

Freedom for Kashmir Kashmir is Pakistan Pakistan zindabad

I suppose this is about as informative as you can be in just thirteen minutes (more like eleven after you take out the promotional stuff), but I think the effort to avoid sounding partisan about a hotly contested issue has led the makers of this video to say too much about the military aspects of the war and too little about the conclusions of most objective historians when assessing and analysing who/what was primarily responsible for this conflict. And what's the deal with the weird pronunciations of the names 'Nehru' and 'Jinnah'? I am familiar with various Indian/Pakistani accents (common here in Yorkshire) and I've never heard either name pronounced with the stress on the last vowel.

Your saying that the British just wanted to go from india is not true ,THE so called British wanted to split india up as much they could before going and that's the truth so Queen Victoria had said if we meening the British loss india split it up as much u can otherwise this country will become very strong all uk has done this all over the world to rule and know usa nato and uk and some western countries are trying the some thing with russia and that's the truth.

Imagine how powerful and prosperous a united India could have been. Even if the only chnages were Pakistan and Bangladesh up to Indian SoL and less spendijg on the military would result in tens or hundreds of millions out if poverty, a more stable Afghanistan, a less adventerous China (and one with a stringer rival in Asia) and a wealthier happier world. All that assumes it doesnt descend into sectarian violence and insurgency. The BJP wouldnt be in power andbthr Pakistani military wouldnt orevent denicracy in Pakistan. Man. . .

Plz Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 should be next....!

5:20 my great grandad be like

A wonderful historical coverage video about the first war between India 🇮🇳 and Pakistan 🇵🇰 in 1948-1949 on the Jemo-kashmir region...No .. because dividing population politically upon the religious differences..reliving religious extremists beneath populations..donating community leadership to religion clergyman

Hoping for some "respectful" comments

Can you make kashmir King lalit Aditya muktpid he stopped Arabs invaders king of karkota Dynasty lalit Aditya muktpid pls make this video

14.1948 Formation of Israel 14.1947 Formation of Pakistan ❤️❤️

The wars between Pakistan and Índia I know very little therefore I have a question: It had any combat in the rest of the frontier of both countries? And what is on the close level that had during combat on Kashmir.

Britishers responsible everywhere

Muslims are a majority in Regions like East Bengal, West Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkwa, Kashmir, Swat valley ! And so only these were made a part of Pakistan except Balochistan & Kashmir ! Balochistan an Independent Nation was invaded & annexed by Jinnah & Kashmir which was Princely State was invaded by Jinnah but the Invaders were pushed back by Indian Forces who came to save Kashmir from the invaders after Maharaja of Kashmir cried for help from India & agreed to Ascend to the Indian Union ! Khyber Pakhtunkwa was made a part of Pakistan through a rigged Referendum ! Balochistan even today is struggling for Independence from Pakistan !

The Brits partitioning states only seemed to screw with the modern world
