CMV: Kashmir should have been part of Pakistan

I must begin by saying I am not Indian nor Pakistani .

So Kashmir is a muslim majority region , it should have went by defintion to Pakistan in 1947 . Most of the pro-indian arguments are :

>The king of Kashmir was given a choice to either join India and Pakistan and he chose to join India

The 1947 partition didn't divide South Asia along the religions of the local rulers , it divided them along the religions of the people who inhabited those states . India is also hypcritical about this as India invaded (rightfully) the Hyderabad state which is a hindu majority state with a muslim ruler .

>the Pakistani army infiltrated Kashmir in order to take the land by force 

Hindus and Sikhs from Punjab arrived in Kashmir as refugees and told about the killings of Hindus by muslims in Pakistani Punjab (violence was very common in both sides during the 1947 partition) so local Sikhs and Hindus began massacring the Muslim majority (the mahraja was involved at certain points) , many Pakistani tribesman decided as a result to invade Kashmir to stop the massacres and they saw a lot of success which led the mahraja to ask India for assistance as long as he agreed to join them . This began the war .

>Kashmir has a signifcant Hindu population

Yes , Jammu is majority Hindu , you can just make it join India . Other regions like Bengal and Punjab were both divided along religious lines and then given to their respective countries , why couldn't they have done the same for Kashmir ? The Hindu and Budhist majority regions both share a border with India .

Now the best solution to the conflict would be an indepandant Kashmir (as the majority of Kashmiris want that) but it would be hard to manage a landlocked country surrondered by mountains from all sides (except if India and Pakistan would help and allow for free trade and the use of their ports) but at the moment , I think the Kashmir should logically be part of Pakistan .

Kashmir was an important exception though. Kashmir enjoyed some degree of local autonomy and because of that the ruler was allowed to choose a side. So legally (with the 1947 rules) Kashmir should be part of India. 

The other things (invasions, populations etc.) do not matter for the 1947 rules.

If you want to make 2019 rules we shouldn't force a independent Kashmir but instead hold a democratic, legitimate referendum.
