[...] His question was in these terms:— I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for India whether the Secretary of State for India is aware that the Government of India have virtually annexed the State of Kashmir to British India and subjected its ruler to great indignities ; Whether the Secretary of State is aware of the contents of a letter No. [...] and why ? Because the people of Kashmir were so ground down by the tyranny and ill-government of the Maharaja that we wore bound as the paramount Power to interfere for the protection of the interests of the inhabitants of that country. [...] The condition which the Secretary of State wishes to insure in Kashmir is one of just and upright government in the interest of the people of the State. [...] gentleman aware that the majority of the people of Kashmir are of opinion that the only way to secure the state of things which the Secretary of State desires is the restoration of their lawful ruler and the withdrawal of all improper interference ?
