Pakistan and India were created simultaneously, originally being one imperial colony of Great Britain. So Kashmir and Jammu were an issue to begin with. It was then, more than 50 years ago, that India agreed to a plebiscite. But the vote was never held. If held today, most experts say that the Muslim majority would overwhelmingly choose Islamabad over New Delhi.
