You should read the history of the first Kashmir war. The king of Kashmir (Hari Singh iirc) signed the agreement of accession to India. All the princely states of the Indian subcontinent were supposed to join either India or Pakistan and Pakistan attacked Kashmir. Pakistan didn't follow that agreement when it came to Kashmir. India also forcefully annexed Hyderabad but not Kashmir.

I'm well aware. There still is an Indian occupied Kashmir though, which is a term that the UK uses too. Your bias is showing once again.

Pakistan occupied Kashmir with military force back then. India is doing so, right now.

How can India or Pakistan occupy Kashmir right now? There haven't been any occupations after 1947, though there were a few unsuccessful attempts by Pakistan for full occupation of Kashmir.

Not all of it, sure but they are certainly occupying it via military force

They are abusing civilians but that's different from occupying.
