Prior to 1950, the visitors of Aksai Chin were, for the most part, the occasional explorers, hunters, and nomads who passed through the area. [59] [60] [61] [62] Mirza, M. Abdul Haq (1991).

Snedden 2013, p. 176: On p.29, the census report states that Urdu is the official language of the government of Azad Kashmir, with Kashmiri, Pahari, Gojri, Punjabi, Kohistani, Pushto, and Sheena 'frequently spoken in Azad Kashmir'. Yet, when surveyed about their 'mother tongue', Azad Kashmiris' choices were limited to selecting from Pakistan's major languages: Urdu, Punjabi, Sindhi, Pushto, Balochi, Saraiki, and 'others'; not surprisingly, 2.18 million of Azad Kashmir's 2.97 million people chose 'others'. a b Bob Butalia (30 September 2015).

Consequently, having little to fear from a pro-Pakistan population devoid of options, [46] Pakistan imposed its will through the Federal Ministry of Kashmir Affairs and failed to empower the people of Azad Kashmir, allowing genuine self-government for only a short period in the 1970s. According to the interim constitution that was drawn up in the 1970s, the only political parties that are allowed to exist are those that pay allegiance to Pakistan: "No person or political party in Azad Jammu and Kashmir shall be permitted... activities prejudicial or detrimental to the State's accession to Pakistan." [46] The pro-independence Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front has never been allowed to contest elections in Azad Kashmir. [47] While the interim constitution does not give them a choice, the people of Azad Kashmir have not considered any option other than joining Pakistan. [46] Except in a legal sense, Azad Kashmir has been fully integrated into Pakistan. [46]
