Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK or POK) is the name given by India to a portion of Jammu and Kashmir controlled by Pakistan and China. After the partition of undivided India into India and Pakistan, the Maharaja of Kashmir who had an option of either joining India or Pakistan,chose to join the Indian Republic .The signing of this deal took place after pakistan had sent intruders to occupy Kashmir under the claim that a muslim majority existed in Jammu and Kashmir . Indian army which went into Kashmir at the MahaRaja's request,did not recover all the area that was under pakistani control. The area that was left under Pakistani control after the 1947 Indo-Pak war came to be known as Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.
Pakistan divided this area into three parts:
- The Islamic Republic of Azad Jammu & Kashmir,
- The Northern Areas, which are administered as a de facto 'Union Territory' and as an integral part of Pakistan, and
- A small part of Northern Areas that was ceded to China by Pakistan in 1963 with the proviso that the settlement was subject to the final solution of the Kashmir dispute.
