In November 1948, as the tide turned in favor of Pakistan, Jawaharlal Nehru rushed to the UN, seeking a ceasefire. Despite pledging to grant the right of self-determination to Kashmiris and hold a fair plebiscite, India had already annexed significant portions of Jammu and Kashmir by the time the ceasefire took effect.
Subsequently, Nehru backtracked on his promises, adopting delaying tactics and sidelining 11 UN resolutions. The Simla Accord of 1972 changed the ceasefire line to the Line of Control (LoC), with both countries agreeing to bilateralism and excluding third-party involvement. This marked a period of relative dormancy until the Kashmiris reignited their struggle in October 1989.
