Take your share of responsibility for the avoidable dispute over Jammu & Kashmir

What the petition asks

At least 5 reasons:
-Words 'for ever' used n Article 1 of AmritsarTreaty 1846-Maharaja's bid to avoid accession dilemma foiled by Brits pre1947-BhutanBurmaNepalSikkimSriLanka avoided such, why not J&K?-IIA 05/07/1947 still makes UK liable authority-Mountbatten's proviso on J&K's accession.

We appreciate that J & K is coveted for its geography & water resources. We also understand that the issue of water was raised in British parliamentary debates pre 1947. However, dividing the region on the basis of religious identity was always going to be a recipe for war & existential claims on water. As the UK oversaw all that happened & didn't directly suffer from the decisions it made, it has a moral responsibility as well as technical grounding to take its share of responsibility to avert.
