- It commemorates the day when Maharaja Hari Singh signed the Instrument of Accession in 1947, making Jammu and Kashmir an integral part of India.
- The Jammu and Kashmir Accession Day was officially made a public holiday in 2020 to be celebrated every year in the valley.
- Originally, Maharaja Hari Singh had decided to retain the independence of his state, signing standstill agreements with both the neighbouring countries to maintain the status quo.
- However, after he faced attacks from Pathan tribes’ people and army personnel from Pakistan, he sought India’s help.
- Thus, the Maharaja inked the treaty on October 26, 1947.
