The Azad Cachemire is an area of Asia south of 78.000 km ² and 3 million inhabitants. It constitutes part of old the princely State of the Cashmere, controlled today by the federal government of Islamabad in the form of a nominally independent State (of which official name is the same one as the Indian territory, namely Jammu-and-Cashmere), following the example Turkish Republic of Cyprus of North, and its capital is Muzaffarabad. Its president is, since August 25th, 2006, Rajah Zulqarnain Khan. The ancestral local language is the Kashmiri (“koeeshur” in Kashmiri).
History
In October 1947, the Moslem combatants of the Cashmere, supported by the Pakistani government and the tribes pachtounes, reverse the Maharajah Hari Singh and found the “free Cashmere” ( Azad Kashmir ). The Maharajah, who up to that point considered the independence of his principality, links himself with the Indian Union in exchange of a military aid. The India invades the Cachemire and generates the first conflict indo-Pakistani that UNO will put an end to on January 1st 1949. The Cachemire is divided into two: the “Jammu-and-Cashmere”, attached to the Indian Union, and the “Azad Cashmere”, one the north-western third of the territory, occupied by the Pakistan. In 1963, Pakistan concedes with the China part of the Cashmere.
