Official Indian Position on Kashmir as explained in Indian Embassy website is as follows:
Kashmir is an integral part of India
1) Accession of Jammu and Kashmir(J&K) to India is final and legal and cannot be disputed
J&K is not a disputed territory.
2)Sheikh Abdullah sought and endorsed the accession of Jammu and Kashmir to India
3)POK: Pak should relinquish control of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. It is not Azad Kashmir.
4)What happens in Kashmir is internal affair and international community has no business in it.
Elections are a substitute for plebiscite
1) The will of the people does not need to be ascertained only through a plebiscite. Democratic elections are a recognised means of ascertaining the wishes of the people and the people of the State of J&K have repeatedly participated in such elections. People of Kashmir are largely happy with India.
All would be well in Kashmir but for cross-border terrorism sponsored by Pakistan.
1)The problem of Kashmir today is one of terrorism sponsored by Pakistan. People are happy with India. What happens in the Valley is not a freedom struggle but a terrorist movement stoked by Pakistan. Hence if Pak were to stop cross-border terrorism, normalcy would return to the Valley.
Human Right Violations by the State are negligible.
1)Sufficient judicial mechanisms are in place to investigate such allegations.
Conditional Dialogues:
1) Any dialogues with Pak or Kashmiris will be conditioned on Kashmir being a part of India.
