[edit] Karan Singh would have been the present Maharaja, Emperor or King of all lands and territories of “Jammu and Kashmir” had his father not stepped down from the throne and acceded to India!
Dr. Karan Singh (1931- ) is an Indian politician, author and distinguished diplomat who would have been the present Maharaja, Emperor or King of all lands and territories of “Jammu and Kashmir”. He was born as the heir-apparent to the then ruler of the state of Jammu and Kashmir, to Maharaja Hari Singh and his wife Maharani Tara Devi. Heir apparent from birth, he was educated at the Doon School and Pratap College, receiving a PhD from Delhi University.
In 1949, he was appointed as the regent of the Jammu and Kashmir state after his father stepped down as the king, following the state's accession to India. He served successively as regent, Sardar-i-Riyasat and governor of the state of Jammu and Kashmir from 1965-1967.
Even though the days of the Princely States and Monarchies are now long over in India, to some people who still respect & revere their royals and royal family this gentle and kindhearted man is still looked upon fondly as the Maharaja, Emperor or King of all lands and territories of Jammu and Kashmir in their hearts.

Hi Deepak,

[edit] Re: Dr Karan Singh The would be "Maharaja / king" of all of Jammu & Kashmir
So you mean to say Karan Singh is the would be Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir?! Nevermind, the very purpose of the See also section is to provide links to readers to articles on other topics related to the concerned topic. I just don't understand why would a person who would like to gain some information regarding J&K will go to an article on Karan Singh? Besides, so what if he belongs to a royal family? --Incman|वार्ता 08:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Haha.. KING of Jammu and Kashmir.. the last thing I want to know is that India is a monarchy. LOL! --Incman|वार्ता 08:57, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Deepak
Some people still respect him on all 3 sides of the Borders of J&K, he may someday help people to come together and reach some understanding, atleast he can do some good on his own, he has a historical connection to this disputed land and its people, we can atleast provide a link to people for an important chapter in the history of J&K and a very important personality of the state.
Thats all, I was just thinking the best for the people of J&K, I am not here to fight with you, please rethink and revert
Best wishes

- Well I know that Mr. Karan Singh has a great personality and is a good man but you have to understand the rules of Wikipedia. Adding a link to Karan Singh defeats the very purpose of the See also section and would result in a decline of Wikipedia's overall credibility. I hope you understand the problem and I would like to express my apologies for my earlier argumentative tone. Thanks --Incman|वार्ता 09:19, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

- Also, at the same time you must realize that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and therefore not the right mean for all this. --Incman|वार्ता 09:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Deepak
You seem to be obssed with the Jammu and Kashmir article on Wikipedia, anybody can make it out, you have got stuck and are going on and on about it, you dont respect other peoples viws too, as for me I think there should be a link to Dr Karan Singh's article here, which was just a stub, so I was trying to develop it, thats all, you are playing politics over the whole issue, please think with informational and historical point of view.....
I have also copyed this discussion with you in the Jammu and Kashmir as well as Dr Karan Singh's discussion page, just for the record that Dr Karan Singh article was discussed, as it is a legitimate discussion.
If you get time later please help in developing Dr Karan Singh's article on Wikipedia too.
Just for info only as you seem interested: Latest News on Kashmir topic today: http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2006/12/05/pakistan-kashmir.html?ref=rss
Thanks Cheers

- Of course I am obsessed with the article on J&K. As a matter of fact, a good chunk of that article is written by me (including the History section). And before calling me inconsiderate, look at yourself! Have you analyzed my arguments above in a logical way? You say: "Some people still respect him on all 3 sides of the Borders of J&K, he may someday help people to come together and reach some understanding, atleast he can do some good on his own, he has a historical connection to this disputed land and its people, we can atleast provide a link to people for an important chapter in the history of J&K and a very important personality of the state." Hello! This is an encyclopedia. Not a propaganda website. Anyways, I find this discussion a waste of time and unintellectual. So I won't take part in it anymore as I have better things to do. --Incman|वार्ता 20:31, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] December 2006: Latest comments of Pakistan over Kashmir “The Kashmir puzzle”
"The Kashmir puzzle"
THE HINDU
Online edition of India's National Newspaper
Thursday, Dec 14, 2006
Opinion - Letters to the Editor
This refers to the editorial "Clues to Kashmir peace puzzle" (Dec. 13). Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam's statement that her country has never claimed Kashmir as an integral part of its territory is a pleasant surprise. She has buttressed her assertion, saying Pakistan-held Kashmir has its own president and prime minister. It is clear that there is a paradigm shift in Pakistan's stand on Kashmir. If it indeed has no territorial design in Kashmir, it should leave the issue to the Kashmiris and stop fighting on their behalf. K.V. Seetharamaiah, Hassan
Ms. Aslam's remarks vindicate New Delhi's stand that Kashmir is an integral part of India. One feels that the latest statements by President Pervez Musharraf and his Government are effective catalysts for a change. K.S. Thampi, Chennai
By stating openly that it has never claimed Kashmir as its integral part, Pakistan has only reiterated the legal position. The Indian Independence Act 1947 gave the princely states the right to choose between India and Pakistan. Jammu and Kashmir became an irrevocable part of India once Hari Singh signed the Instrument of Accession to India. It is an open secret that Pakistan's relations with India have been closely linked to its fixation on Kashmir. When all is said and done, Pakistan's latest statement is welcome, as it is likely to take the neighbours closer to solving the peace puzzle. A. Paramesham, New Delhi
A week ago, Gen. Musharraf said Pakistan was willing to give up its claim to Kashmir if India accepted his "four-point solution." Why should he offer to give up the claim over something his country never claimed in the first place, using a non-existent thing to negotiate? "Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practise to deceive!" (Sir Walter Scott, Marmion) S.P. Sundaram, Chennai
http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2006/12/05/pakistan-kashmir.html?ref=rss
Now that Gen. Musharraf has clarified Pakistan's stand on Kashmir, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh should seize the opportunity to settle the issue once and for all. The BJP should not be a stumbling block to the negotiations. M.N. Srinivasan, Vellore
Statements emanating from Pakistan are intended to pressure India in two ways. While they will invoke the wrath of those who favour self-rule for Kashmir, India will be forced to negotiate the Kashmir issue more seriously on bilateral and multilateral forums. The Government should respond with a strong message. Rajeev Ranjan Dwivedi, Dhenkanal, Orissa
Pakistan's latest statement is superficial and bears no significance. It should not be seen as a shift in its Kashmir policy. It is an attempt to mislead the world until the tide turns in Gen. Musharraf's favour. With India set to sign a nuclear deal with the U.S., Pakistan wants to gain some ground and win credibility in American circles. Had Gen. Musharraf really believed that the people of Kashmir should decide their fate, he would have ended cross-border terror by now. Shashikant Singh, Roorkee

[edit] Karan Singh, Royal family of Jammu and Kashmir
Hi, Karan Singh is from Kashmir Royal family, see the Royal family stub, he would have been actually the current Maharaja / Emperor of all Jammu and Kashmir if his father had not acceded to India. Wife is actually the princess of Nepal and children are princes and princesses of Kashmir to those who care for their royal family, no point removing all reference that this is the Royal family of disputed state of Jammu and Kashmir, also see Kashmir. Atulsnischal 00:10, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- If there are enough people who care articles will have been written about them in reliable sources such as national or regional newspapers. In that case they will be notable, and worthy of inclusion. Otherwise there is a presumption in favour of their privacy. Hornplease 06:03, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Reinserted following paragraph/info:
"Karan Singh was born as the crown prince i.e. heir-apparent to the then ruler of the state of Jammu and Kashmir Maharaja Hari Singh, in the royal family of Jammu and Kashmir. In 1956 he married princess Yasho Rajya Lakshmi (1937-) from the royal family of Nepal, the couple have two sons, Vikramaditya Singh (1964-) and Ajatshatru Singh (1966-), one daughter, Jyotsna Devi (1957-), and six grandchildren, three grandsons and three granddaughters."
