Who was the Prime Minister of Jammu & Kashmir after its accession with India in 1947?

Sheikh Abdullah  

Sheikh Abdullah was the Prime Minister of Jammu & Kashmir immediately after its accession with India in 1947.

Sheikh Abdullah assumed the role of Prime Minister in March 1948 within the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Simultaneously, India agreed to bestow provisional autonomy under Article 370. This provisional autonomy permitted the State a certain degree of self-governance. Consequently, the head of the State government came to be known as the Prime Minister.
Following his assumption of the role of Prime Minister, Sheikh Abdullah embarked on significant land reforms and implemented policies that directly benefited the common populace. However, disparities in viewpoints emerged between him and the central government, particularly concerning Kashmir's status. In 1953, he was removed from his position and subjected to detention for an extended period. Subsequent leadership lacked comparable public backing and struggled to govern the state, largely owing to backing from the central authority. Furthermore, various elections were tainted by grave accusations of misconduct and manipulation.
