India has been opposing change

In July, when Pakistan had said that it would hold elections in the region, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs spokesman Anurag Shrivastava said, "We completely reject Pakistan's efforts to bring about material changes in the Indian territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh." "It is nothing more than a show of trying to hide the Indian territories that Pakistan has occupied."
After the first Kashmir war in 1948, the disputed real borderline was drawn between India and Pakistan. Before that Gilgit-Baltistan was a part of the erstwhile princely state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Special strategic position

The region has a population of about 1.5 million people who are ethnically different from Kashmiris.
This area is very beautiful. Snowy groves, lush green mountains, large valleys, and lots of fruit plantations make this area a special identity.
But the strategic position of the region makes it more desirable for any country.
The borders of four countries including India, Pakistan, China, and Tajikistan touch this region.
