Its the state of Jammu and Kashmir and not state of Kashmir. It has become customary with vested interests and anti-Jammu forces in the valley and casual political commentators in Delhi and elsewhere to outrage the sensivities of the people of Jammu province by terming the state of J&K as the stae of Kashmir like the congress and its leaders and PM Jawaharlal Nehru and his right hand man Gopalaswami Ayyangar had done in the Indian Constituent Assembly. But why blame the vested interests in Kashmir who on a daily basis offend the feelings of the people of Jammu and Ladakh by also terming them Kashmiris which they are not and addressing the state of Jammu and Kashmir as the state of Kashmir knowing it well that it was Kashmir which was added to the Jammu kingdom in march, 1846 and not the vice versa. Jammu had purchased Kashmir from the British government for Rs. 75 Lakh and Jammu remained the helm of affairs till Oct., 1947, when Nehru intrigued against Jammu and manipulated the state power for Sheikh Abdullah to teach Maharaja Hari Singh a lesson as Hari Singh had Nehru arrested at Kohala, in 1946.
