The correct answer is 1947. Indian forces occupied Kashmir in October 1947. Following the partition of India, the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir was ruled by Maharaja Hari Singh. On 22 October 1947, Pakistani tribal forces entered Kashmir. The Maharaja signed the Instrument of Accession to India on 26 October 1947, and Indian troops were airlifted to Srinagar the next day. By early November 1947, Indian forces had secured the Kashmir Valley and pushed back the tribal forces. The option 1948 is incorrect because the main military occupation took place in 1947, although the conflict continued into 1948. 1949 and 1950 are also incorrect as they are years after the initial occupation. Therefore, 1947 is the correct answer.
Indian forces occupied Kashmir in which year?
