Nehru's Srinagar Visit In November 1947

In October 1947, hordes of militant Pathan tribal warriors from Pakistan stormed into Maharaja Hari Singh’s Jammu and Kashmir. A few days later the king sought protection from Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and signed an instrument of accession with India. Nehru visited Srinagar the following month to take stock of the situation. #tbt
