http://www.srinagar.demon.co.uk/index.htm
[Established in Leeds in 1994, with the following political platform:
"On the political front, the forum aims to help in the withdrawal of
all armed forces of India and Pakistan from the undivided state of
Jammu and Kashmir, as it existed on the 15th August 1947. The United
Nations will simultaneously depute a supervisory force to the area, to
help the state defend itself for a suitable period, until a truly
democratic and stable government of its people is set up. The future
political disposition of the state will then be possible through
tripartite negotiations with the governments of India and Pakistan and
the representative government of Jammu and Kashmir."]

Kashmiri American Council
(USA)
http://www.kashmiri.com/
[Describes iteself as "a not-for-profit organization dedicated to
raising the level of awareness in the United States about the struggle
of the people of Kashmir for self-determination as called for under the
United Nations resolutions. It is also dedicated to the promotion of
social contacts among families with Kashmiri ancestry settled across
the country, regardless of their religious and political affiliations."
Position on Kashmir dispute: "India's claim that Kashmir is Indian
territory is based on nothing more than an Instrument of Accession
signed by the Maharajah in order to obtain India's military help
against a popular insurgency. This accession was conditional on a
reference to a popular vote (not yet held) under impartial auspices.
The Indian claim is rejected by the people of Kashmir, and challenged
by Pakistan. It has never been accepted by the United Nations, nor
legally validated."]

enshrined in successive United Nations resolutions. It is also
dedicated to promote and encourage the association of Kashmiris in
Canada." The organization publishes the Kashmir
Quarterly.]
