But the unfortunate reality is that India has always failed to reciprocate peace initiatives by Pakistan either by remaining indifferent to them or finding excuses to thwart the opportunities for dialogue. It further ruled that Jammu & Kashmir retained limited sovereignty and did not merge with the Dominion of India after Partition in 1947. Another very pertinent point to be noted is that Jammu & Kashmir has its own constitution and India has its own. Therefore, in legal and constitutional terms, India and Jammu & Kashmir are two separate entities. Taking the matter to the UN Security Council, as India did in 1948, is also an option available under the UN Charter.
