The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The question asks which statement correctly describes the roots of regional aspiration in Jammu and Kashmir after 1947.
Step 2: Key Fact:
In 1947 Maharaja Hari Singh did not want to join India or Pakistan. He hoped to keep Kashmir independent. He signed the Instrument of Accession with India only after tribal raiders from Pakistan entered the state.
Step 3: Check option (1).
This is true. The Maharaja wanted an independent status for the state. So option (1) is correct.
Step 4: Check option (2).
Sheikh Abdullah and the National Conference opposed the two nation theory and supported accession to India with autonomy. They did not want to merge with Pakistan. So option (2) is wrong.
Step 5: Check option (3).
The people of Kashmir had a strong sense of Kashmiri identity called Kashmiriyat. It is wrong to say they all saw themselves as Pakistani above all. So option (3) is wrong.
Step 6: Check option (4).
Hurriyat is a group of separatist organisations. It is not the name of the issue of regional aspiration. So option (4) is wrong.
Final Answer:
Only the statement about Maharaja Hari Singh is correct. This is option (1). \[ \boxed{\text{Option 1}} \]

In the North-East, regional aspirations reached a turning point in the 1980s. This region now consists of seven States, also referred to as the ‘Seven Sisters’. The region has only 4 percent of the country’s population but about twice as much share of its area. A small corridor of about 22 kilometers connects the region to the rest of the country. Otherwise, the region shares boundaries with China, Myanmar, and Bangladesh and serves as India’s gateway to South-East Asia.
The region has witnessed a lot of change since 1947. Tripura, Manipur, and Khasi Hills of Meghalaya were erstwhile Princely States which merged with India after Independence. The entire region of North-East has undergone considerable political reorganization. Nagaland
State was created in 1963; Manipur, Tripura, and Meghalaya in 1972, while Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh became separate States only in 1987. The Partition of India in 1947 had reduced the North-East to a land-locked region and affected its economy. Cut off from the rest of India, the region suffered neglect in developmental terms. Its politics too remained insulated. At the same time, most States in this region underwent major demographic changes due to an influx of migrants from neighboring States and countries. The isolation of the region, its complex social character, and its backwardness compared to other parts of the country have all resulted in the complicated set of demands from different States of the North-East. The vast international border and weak communication between the North-East and the rest of India have further added to the delicate nature of politics there. Three issues dominate the politics of North-East: demands for autonomy, movements for secession, and opposition to ‘outsiders’. Major initiatives on the first issue in the 1970s set the stage for some dramatic developments on the second and the third in the 1980s.
