So in 1947, people of Kashmir stood against the maharaja. Then thousands of Pashtun from Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa moved toward Jammu and Kashmir to liberate Jammu and Kashmir. They captured the area near the state capital Srinagar. So the Maharaja requested India for military assistance and Indian Army got the remaining part of the state and war was initiated between India and Pakistan. After that, India approched the United Nations to resolve the conflit and then UN declared a cease-fire between India and Pakistan by setting a Line of Control in 1972 to hold the captured parts of Jammu and Kashmir between India and Pakistan.
