- Second round of Pak-India talks at Delhi - January 16-20 - and third at Karachi - April 21-25 - see Pakistan calling for plebiscite and India opposing it, at fourth round at Calcutta - March 12-14 - India suggests readjustment of ceasefire line to settle dispute which Pakistan rejects, while fifth round at Karachi - April 21-25 - is taken up with Indian protest at recently signed Pak-China boundary agreement under which some area of former State is ceded to China. At sixth and final round at Delhi - May 14-16 - Pakistan proposes plebiscite confined to Valley which it further suggests should be placed under international control for 12 to 15 months prior to holding of vote. If plebiscite not acceptable, then people's wishes should be ascertained in some other form and dispute settled. India rejects both proposals.
- December 27: Much political upheaval in Kashmir with installation of openly integrationist government in State, climaxed with mysterious disappearance of Holy Prophet of Islam Hazrat Mohammad (SAW)'s hair - a much-revered relic - from Hazratbal shrine near Srinagar. Mass protests all over State with hundreds of thousands out in streets, wailing and denouncing India and its puppet regime in State.
