Pashtun Invation of Kashmir

Immediately after Pakistan came into existence, Maseeds raised a tribal militia which entered Kashmir to help the newly created state Pakistan to capture Kashmir. They quickly reached Baramulla town, the gateway to the Kashmir valley, but indulged in loot, arson, and murder at Baramulla for several days instead of pressing on to the capital, Srinagar, to seize Kashmir completely.
A large number of tribals from Pakistan attacked Kashmir under the code name "Operation Gulmarg" to seize Kashmir. The invading tribals started moving along Rawalpindi-Murree-Muzaffarabad-Baramulla Road on 22 October 1947 with Pakistani army men in plain clothes. Muzaffarabad fell on 24 October 1947. They reached and captured Baramulla on 25 October. There they stayed for several days looting, killing, burning, plundering looting  and desecrating and vandalizing shrines and temples instead of moving on to Srinagar 50 km away and capture its airfield which was not defended at all. They raped Kashmiri women killed European nuns at Baramulla's St. Joseph convent, only one of whom survived, and Christian nurses at the missionary hospital. This savage orgy of loot, murder rape continued for several days. Baramulla suffered this savage orgy but saved the rest of Kashmir because the airplanes carrying the Indian troops airlifted from Delhi on the morning of 27 October could land at Srinagar airfield as the invaders were still at Baramulla.
Biju Patnaik (who later became Chief Minister of Orissa) piloted the first plane to land at Srinagar airport that morning. He brought along 17 soldiers of 1-Sikh regiment commanded by Lt.Col. Dewan Ranjit Rai. "...The pilot flew low over the airstrip twice to ensure that no raiders were around... Instructions from PM Nehru’s office were clear: If the airport was taken over by the enemy, you are not to land. Taking a full circle the DC-3 flew ground level. Anxious eye-balls peered from inside the aircraft – only to find the airstrip empty. Nary a soul was in sight. The raiders were busy distributing the war booty amongst themselves in Baramulla."
In the words of Gen Mohammad Akbar Khan (Brigadier-in-Charge, Pakistan, in his book "War for Kashmir in 1947"): "The uncouth raiders delayed in Baramulla for two (whole) days for some unknown reason."[4]
It took two weeks for the Indian army to evict the raiders, who had been joined by Pakistani regular troops and became well-entrenched, from Baramulla. lushker of kashmir.*Malik Hayat khsn machi khel.2 Gulap khan ishungee. 3abdul malik shabi khel.4 M Amin khan shamen khel,.5 KS Muhibullah khan machi khel.6Kharoot khan. 6 Ayaaz khan shabi khel,7 Khan Saifal Khan Shaman khel this was the chief leader of Maseed 3000 persons lushker of kashmir.
