Annex 1: Kashmir's note[]

We would like the results of our 1917-1918 activity in India noted when it is given a smallish peace of land British India. To reiterate our stance on the issue:

Kashmir Diplomacy: We maintain that we will not selfishly or malignantly interfere with Indian affairs.

PMIV 1918- Kshmiri zone of violent seaziture marked.

The planned (as of 1918) Kashmiri zone of violent seizure marked.

We see British India is in disarray and send emissaries to nearby Sheikhupura, Chiniot, Narowal, Amritsa, Lahore, Fiselbad and Balata with a message pointing out British India's decline, Kashmir's success and Kashmir's fear of chaos in India. The message also asks their officials to defect (along with the villages, towns and cities) to the Kashmiri side and sign a document that makes them part of the safe and still independent Kashmiri land. It is entirely voluntary and they are not coerced, just fed a lot of spin doctoring and a charm (Mod decide if it works).

(Secret). If Arabia and Company do invade India, then you can have the support of 150 Kashmiri troops in covert warfare (Colonel Mahindra Havind Bose is on standby with his men). We would like to annex the OTL Muslim Punjab and OTL Sikh Punjab in a line north of (and including) Layyah, Kasur, Jalandhar and Hoshiarpur to set up a Kashmiri run neutral buffer zone. They will be free of the British and the troubled British border will be farther from us. (End Secret).

All military except for a 2000 man rifle armed royal/Loya Jirga guard and the 500 armed border patrol will be disbanded by 1921.

Kashmir has acted unilaterally in 1919![]

Kashmir Diplomacy: We maintain that we will not selfishly or malignantly interfere with Indian affairs. We see British India is in disarray and the Arab onslaught has totally imploded due to trench flu, ideological issues and pay role issues. The Nepalese and Afghan offensives have apparently not go enough to go on successfully with out Arab support. Because of this send emissaries to nearby Sheikhupura, Chiniot, Narowal, Layyah, Kasur, Lahore, Faisalabad and Balata with a message pointing out British India's decline, Arabia is a dyeing nation, Egypt is a great nation, Kashmiri and Afghanistan are cool, Kashmir is a economic success and that Kashmir's fear of chaos in India. The message also asks their officials to defect (along with there villages, towns and cities) to the Kashmiri side and sign a document that makes them part of the safe and still independent Kashmiri land. It is entirely voluntary and they are not coerced, just fed a lot of spin doctoring and a charm. (Assumedly they will largely agree in the face the current situation unless a Mod decide otherwise).

  • Jaffarid Kingdom of Arabia - Oh, I didn't mean to push that button!Oh, well leave a message I guess 04:26, October 11, 2018 (UTC)
  • OOC Dev: Please do consider the fact that Bengal (Magadh) is an oligarchy based on Aryavartan lines and if you read the 1780s and 1790s Bengal/Magadh turns you will see that the reunification of Aryavarta was a stated goal of the Bengali/Magadhi oligarchy. If there is any sort of reunification of Aryavarta, Bengal would join it. Bengal/Magadh has the capital of Aryavarta (Patna). Also since the Royal family of Dravidia was lost, Dravidia would be a democracy with a Westminster system.
    • The request is denied. Bengal may work out uniting with Aryavarta after the war but as of the signing of this treaty they are separate nations -Arabia
