Sardar rejected British idea to partition Kashmir: book
Sardar rejected British idea to partition Kashmir: book: "'When we wanted to fight in Kashmir, he (prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru) began to interfere - you must not do this, must not fight here, must not shoot here. What will Sheikh (Mohammed Abdullah) feel',' Sardar Patel is quoted as having told a caller date in September 1950.
The result in the word of Sardar Patel as he was popularly known, was that 'in Kashmir we are spending crores. It is a deficit State... We must go on subsidising it... Now how long India can bear this burden?'"
