Historically, it was known as the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, which was led by a Maharaja. Pakistan invaded the Jammu and Kashmir princely state in 1947, after which the Maharaja acceded to India.[2]Pakistan accuses New Delhi has attempting to alter the demography of Jammu and Kashmir by settling non-native Indians into the state, and granting them domicile status.[3] However, Pakistan themselves never had any protections for the indigenous Kashmiris in Pakistani occupied Kashmir, and has settled Punjabi Muslim settlers there.

Between 2019 and 2020, US president Donald Trump offered to mediate on the Kashmir conflict multiple times. India rejected these offers.[5]
