Article 370: India trying to prevent declassification of ‘sensitive’ 1947 Kashmir papers

Indian government is trying to stall the declassification of a collection of documents from 1947, known as the Bucher Papers, over fears that its contents could affect foreign relations. The documents are believed to contain “political and military arguments” related to why India’s first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru decided to grant Kashmir special status under Article 370, it says.

The letters, known as the Bucher papers, are believed to include political and military arguments for why India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, called for a ceasefire with Pakistan and provided special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
According to a source with knowledge of the matter, they reveal that Nehru was aware and informed of the military development in Kashmir, including Pakistan’s attempts to use external military assistance to escalate the situation.

“Roy Bucher suggested a political approach to solve the escalating situation given military fatigue faced by Indian troops due to 13 months of military deployment, including taking the matter before the United Nations,” the source said.

That advice may have influenced Nehru’s decision to grant Kashmir special status. In 1952, the prime minister argued that the aspirations of the people of Kashmir should be respected. “I want to stress that it is only the people of Kashmir who can decide the future of Kashmir,” he told India’s parliament. “We are not going to impose ourselves on them on the point of the bayonet.”

The Bucher papers were handed over by India’s external affairs ministry to the Nehru museum and library in New Delhi in 1970, with a note saying they should be kept “classified”. They have remained in the library’s closed collection since then, the foreign ministry document said.

If anything, it will be revealed before the elections. It would boost BJP if it comes out. 

In fact you are wrong. If the papers are released all the fake propaganda of BJP will go in trash. It will reveal authentic version of history and sequence of events on what led to special status for J&K.

What is the fake propaganda? If Nehru was so patheeet, why did they keep it confidential in the first place? 

He didn’t keep them confidential… they are with UK archives and classified. That is the reason why I told to Google and read more about Bucher Papers. Few of those papers were given to India in 1970 by Bucher.
