The correct option is B False
King of Jammu Kashmir did not wanted to merge his state into the Union of India. Raja Harisingh was the king of Jammu and Kashmir at the time of Indian independence. In 1947, after India's independence from British rule, Jammu and Kashmir could have joined India, joined Pakistan, or remained independent. Hari Singh carefully maintained his independence by playing off India and Pakistan.
